Issues with the publication of spatial plans
We are resolving the situation as quickly as possible
Technical issues
Recently, technical issues have arisen with the visibility of plans that were previously published on the website www.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl. These plans can also be found on the website https://omgevingswet.overheid.nl/regels-op-de-kaart where the plans for the physical living environment are available.
To resolve the technical issues, we are working to make the plans visible again.
Therefore, we are not publishing any amended or new plans here, but rather the plans that were already published earlier. The period for objections and/or appeals for the relevant plans has already expired.
What you may notice due to the technical issues:
- When viewing https://omgevingswet.overheid.nl/regels-op-de-kaart , you may see the plans with the note “Plan is verwijderd” (Plan has been removed). The content remains readable.
- If you are subscribed to notifications of published plans via www.overheid.nl , you will receive a new notification once the publication is restored.
- If you use the website www.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl , some plans may be missing.
