On 1 October 2010, the Dutch ‘Wabo’ Act comes into force. As a consequence of this Act, there will be just one single permit for all building, construction, monumental, and environmental activities, including exemptions from zoning plans. As legal adviser, Loyens & Loeff is the link in the chain connecting the issuers of permits with the applicants for such permits. Our goal is to provide practical and effective advice on complex projects, limit risks, and spare clients time-wasting and costly procedures. Our Wabo Desk assists government organisations and companies alike. We offer our clients a one-stop service: customised legal advice, a second opinion, or legal assistance from the beginning to the end, all rolled into one.
