Environmental Quality Advisory Committee & meeting agenda

The Advisory Committee on Environmental Quality (ACO) gives the Municipal Executive solicited and unsolicited advice on spatial quality (monuments, greenery, landscape, urban planning and image quality).The committee is concerned with advising on permits for municipal monuments and national monuments.

In its advice, the committee looks primarily at the preservation of the monument. This does not mean that nothing is possible. Often a monument is preserved by using the building well. The committee advises whether a change respects the value of the monument.

The Environmental Quality Advisory Committee likes to be involved in a plan at an early stage. That is why there is a so-called preliminary consultation. This is a phase before an official permit application. In a preliminary consultation, the committee can point out any (im)possibilities and contribute ideas. The advantage of this is that it saves time and costs. If your plan is positively assessed in a preliminary consultation and you submit a permit application, the costs of the preliminary consultation are deducted from the costs of the permit application. Go to the dues regulation page To find the costs.

State Department of Cultural Heritage

The National Cultural Heritage Agency also has a duty to advise. If an extensive procedure is involved, the National Cultural Heritage Agency must be asked for advice. The State Service does this on behalf of the Minister of Education, Culture and Science. This obligation to advise applies to radical changes to national monuments such as:

  • repurposing;
  • (partial) demolition;
  • reconstruction;
  • major restorations and renovations;
  • altering a protected parkland or new construction in a protected
  • landscaping.

More information can be found on the cultural heritage website.

Province of North Brabant

Is the national monument located in the outlying area? Then, in addition to the Environmental Quality Advisory Committee and the National Cultural Heritage Agency, the province must also give an opinion.

More information can be found on the website of Brabant.
