Available building lots

Available building lots from the municipality and housing projects from construction companies or developers are listed below. 

Within the various expansion plans in the villages, you can choose with an eye for location and position, state of the house and layout around it, but especially what type of house you want to build. In some villages new construction is also possible through infill development. Your wishes and preferences are our focus and together we will look at the possibilities.

Below you can read which building lots are available for each village, in addition you can find the housing projects available in the municipality on our website.

The procedure for the issuance of building lots is described in an issuance protocol. You can also consult this issuance protocol at Documents, at the bottom of this web page.

When choosing a building plot, it is important to know what zoning and building regulations apply to the plot to be purchased. The building possibilities are laid down in the zoning plan. The zoning plan determines where detached houses, semi-detached houses or terraced houses can be built. For each residential zoning, the front building line, the allowed building surface and the building height are indicated, and whether a low or high gutter line is allowed. Furthermore, there are requirements with respect to aesthetics that relate primarily to design and use of materials.

The zoning regulations can be found on the Ruimtelijke Plannen website. 

To make sure that you receive an environmental permit for your building plans, you can request a free preliminary consultation before you incur many costs for a detailed building plan. The municipality will then test the sketch plan against the rules of the zoning plan and building standards.

You can take a no-obligation option for a period of 2 weeks. You can do this by phone or email to the Building and Living Desk at telephone number 140511 or email address frontofficeruimteTD@t-diel.nl. You can extend this non-binding option for 3 months by paying option interest. The option interest is 1% of the purchase price of the lot.

With an option on a building plot, you will receive an offer letter from us with all the information about the building plot and an 'acceptance form'. Signing this form and handing it in to the municipality will create a purchase agreement between you as buyer and the municipality as seller. This will be confirmed by letter from the municipality. You decide at which notary the deed of conveyance (within 3 months after purchase) must be passed.

The sales price is determined for each issue by appraisal. The land is sold under the General Conditions of Sale. Article 4.3 of the General Conditions of Sale does not apply.

The land will be delivered ready for construction, flat and easily accessible from the road. Before the land is issued, it will be investigated for soil contamination by means of an exploratory soil survey. Only "clean soil" is eligible for sale.

Building a new home requires an environmental permit. To get more certainty in advance about the approval of your desired home, it is possible to request a "preliminary consultation" environmental permit. Your building plan (sketch design) will then be tested against the rules of the zoning plan and the requirements of the building regulations. A preliminary consultation is free of charge.

Based on the outcome of this "pre-consultation," the "pre-consultation application," with or without the necessary changes, can be converted to a final environmental permit application.

Requesting a 'pre-consultation' environmental permit can be done through the Omgevingsloket. You do this by 'opening the application to the competent authority' after filling in all sections and not using the 'submit' button. In the comments you can mention that it is a request for preliminary consultation.

After any preliminary consultation, you can submit the environmental permit for construction. You can also have the architect or construction company do this for you. To process the application, you pay a certain amount of cost: fees. The amount depends on the construction costs of the house and the annually set rate. When determining the construction costs, it is a standard amount of construction costs (excluding VAT) calculated over the volume of the house (m3). The rate is a certain percentage over these standardized construction costs.

The procedure for processing the application normally takes a maximum of 8 weeks. This period may be extended in some cases. It is important to apply for the environmental permit in good time. After the environmental permit is granted, there is a statutory objection period of 6 weeks before the environmental permit is irrevocable. With many lenders, an irrevocable building permit is required for mortgage lending.

Effective July 1, 2018, the amendment to the Gas Act will take effect. A new construction home for which an application for an environmental permit is submitted after July 1, 2018 will no longer receive a gas connection and will therefore no longer be connected to the gas grid. This means you will have to heat your home and tap water in a different way and you will no longer be able to cook on a gas stove. The EPC calculation to be submitted with your application for an environmental permit will have to show what alternatives you have chosen and whether these will allow you to meet the EPC requirement. We advise you to discuss this at an early stage with the architect or construction company you are using.

The construction of a home must comply with the standards and regulations of the applicable building code. The building code sets certain requirements for construction, safety, health, usability, energy efficiency and the environment.

Most well-known is the EPC, the Energy Performance Coefficient , which expresses how energy efficient the home is. This EPC is regularly adjusted downward and as of January 1, 2015: 0.4 and must be "almost zero" by the year 2020.

The municipality is not responsible for connecting the home to utilities such as: gas, water, electric and cable. This is done by the utility companies. Online you can see which utility company operates in the region. This website can also be used to apply for connection.

Once the land is in your ownership and the environmental permit to build your new home is granted, construction can begin. You or your construction company reports the start of construction and the municipality stakes out the house on the lot and determines the level of the house, often in relation to the street. The environmental permit specifies at what times you must report construction progress. When the house is finished, you report the house finished. There will then be a final inspection by the municipality before you can move into the home.
