How does it work?

In Tytsjerksteradiel, there are 2 ways to object to the municipality: digitally or in writing.

In most cases, a decision is announced by sending it to the person concerned (usually the applicant). The decision states the possibilities for objection. If you are an interested party in this decision, you can object to it. The objection period is 6 weeks and starts on the day following the announcement.

An objection is prepared by the Objections Committee. This committee generally holds a hearing and then issues a recommendation to the mayor and aldermen. The mayor and aldermen then make a decision on the objection.

The above also applies to decisions of the Mayor or City Council.

What do I put in an objection?

In an objection, you must state at least:

  • your name and address;
  • The date you write the objection;
  • A description of the decision you are objecting to;
  • The reasons why you are objecting;
  • your signature.
