Do I need planning permission for a summer house or gazebo in the garden?
In many cases, you don’t need planning permission for a structure in the garden in the Netherlands, but this does depend on a number of factors, such as the size, installation method, and surroundings. You can also check with the ‘Omgevingsloket’ which arranges planning permission for minor interventions in the Netherlands, if you need permission. It’s always a good idea to check the specific rules with your local authority
