Mantel care home

Check online at Omgevingsloket .nl whether your building plans are permit-free. If you still need to apply for a permit, you can also do so via this counter.

You usually do not need a permit for a care home on your own property. There are a number of rules, however. For example, you must comply with the Buildings Living Environment Decree . This contains rules in the area of safety, health and environment. You must also comply with the other rules below. Do you not comply with these? Then you need a permit.

• A maximum of 2 people may live in the care home, of whom at least 1 person receives or provides care.
• If there are any doubts about the caregiving relationship, the municipality may request a statement from a general practitioner, district nurse or other expert person or agency.
• You must adhere to the general terms and conditions for associated constructions. These are rules for, among other things, the size and location of the construction.
• You may only use the ground floor of the care home as living space.
• Are you converting an existing building near the house into a care home? Then the size does not have to meet the conditions for building without a permit.
• Do you live outside the built-up area and do you opt for a mobile care home of maximum 100m²? Then there are no additional conditions for a building surface.
• When the care ends, you may no longer use the building as a home. You do not have to demolish the home, but you must remove the kitchen, toilet and bathroom.
