The Water Advisory
Het Wateradvies.nl is available to identify the water aspects of a location as early as possible. On this site, you can draw in the planning area and answer a number of questions about that plan. There are three possible outcomes of this digital check:
- No water interests: there are no water interests to be taken into account.
- Standard advice: you will receive advice with standard texts and a reference to the water board's policy and principles.
- Customized advice; we are happy to discuss a customized solution with you.
Water aspects
- Water supply and drainage
- Drainage (difference between ground level and water level)
- Water safety
- Rainwater drainage
- Position in the area (in the polder, in the reservoir, in the free-flowing area)
Weighing the importance of water
In spatial planning, it is important to take water aspects into account as early as possible. The water board informs and advises initiators on this.
The municipalities (as the competent authority) take this advice into account in their decision-making. This is where the 'weighting of water interests' takes place. This ensures that good plans are made and implemented in the physical living environment.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants to develop a spatial plan can use it.
Please note: it is not a permit checker. It concerns new plans that are not yet ready for implementation.
