As a resident, do you have a good plan for the city or do you have a plan professionally? The Environment Act stipulates that you must always tell the municipality whether you have engaged in conversation with the neighborhood and, if so, how. We call this participation. In a number of cases, you are even required to engage in conversation with your neighborhood. This applies, for example, to plans for more than 25 homes.

Having a conversation with those around you is not obvious to everyone. Who should you talk to? When? How? What do you do with the results? And what does the municipality do with them? The pointer: In conversation with your environment, helps you with this and gives you tips on how to engage in conversation with the environment and what is needed to do so.
