Our approach

Thanks to our many years of experience within the government, we know the right way to bring your developments to fruition in an adequate manner: Are you curious how we proceed? Van Santvoort Advies has the following approach:

  1. Intake and introduction
    During the no-obligation intake and introduction, we will discuss your wishes. On the basis of this we will make an inventory of the first possibilities based on the regulations in the zoning plan.
  2. Policy check
    We carry out an extensive policy check for the location in question. We check your request against municipal and provincial policies, such as the structural concept, zoning plan and/or other applicable policy documents. You will receive an overview of the (im)possibilities based on the policy plans applicable to your location(s).
  3. Advice on the process towards the government
    On the basis of the policy check, we draw up a plan of approach for the strategy and the steps required to realise your plans.
  4. Principle request
    The next step – if necessary – is to submit a request in principle to deviate from or amend the zoning plan. Prior to this, we visit the municipality – well prepared thanks to the policy check – to discuss the possibilities for the request in principle. In the event of a request in principle, the Municipal Executive will make an initial decision as to whether it is prepared to cooperate with your plan.
  5. Zoning plan amendment
    If the Mayor and Aldermen respond positively to the request in principle, the process for a zoning plan amendment or deviation can be initiated. We relieve you of all worries in this process.
  6. (Environmental) permits
    Expansion, conversion or new establishment of your home or business may require various permits. We supervise the application and implementation of these permits. You can think of building, environmental and NB law permits.
  7. Manure registration
    For horse husbandry we also take care of the fattening registration. We take care of the manure accounting and the combined task for you.
