Permit Pilot: gain rapid insight into your permitting process
A permit application often raises many questions.
Which procedure applies?
How long will the process take?
When do the public consultation and advisory stages begin?
And which milestones determine your project schedule?
With the Permit Pilot*, you can gain an initial insight into the most likely permitting process for your project within minutes. Based on a brief project description, the tool analyses the possible procedure, the competent authority and the expected lead time. This means you know from the outset which permitting steps may lie ahead.
* Permit Pilot is currently only available in Dutch.
