What this is
Whether you need a permit depends on the stem circumference and on the municipality. Some municipalities have a tree list.
environmental permit for the felling of a timber stand; regulated per municipality in the General Local Bylaws or the environmental plan
Where the application goes
Whether this goes through the Environmental Desk varies by municipality: if the rule is in the environmental plan it does; if it is still in the APV then it goes through their own desk. Municipalities have until 1 January 2032 to move those rules. The municipality page shows how it is there.
Apply yourself. In the Netherlands an authorized representative may submit the application via the Environment Portal (DSO), so this can be outsourced. We are building that service; today we look it up for you and do not yet submit. This page shows what it costs and where it needs to go.
