Change entrance or exit

Would you like to create an entrance or exit from your home or business to a public road, or would you like to modify an existing entrance or exit? If so, you can submit an application directly through the “Omgevingsloket.overheid.nl/aanvragen.”

The municipality may reject the application pursuant to Article 2:12 of the Opsterland General Local Ordinance (APV). 

For example, it is prohibited to create an exit onto the road or to make changes to an existing exit onto the road:

  • if this has not been reported to the municipal executive in advance, along with a sketch of the desired exit route and a photo of the current situation;
  • if the municipal council has prohibited the creation or alteration of the exit.

The municipal council may prohibit the construction or alteration of the exit if:

  • dangerous or disruptive situations arise for traffic;
  • a public parking space is lost unnecessarily;
  • it comes at the expense of public green spaces in the municipality;
  • there is an access road to a lot that is already served by another access road, and the construction of this second access road would come at the expense of a public parking space or public green space;
  • it detracts from the aesthetic appeal of the surroundings;
  • it violates the zoning plan, a management ordinance, or the environmental plan. 

Please note, that the processing of the notification may take 6 weeks.

It is always possible to inquire first whether it makes sense to submit an application, taking into account your location and the situation.
