Late-filed documents may alter the outcome of the permitting process
Permit applications must be handled fairly: applicants for urban and environmental permits may not submit new technical studies or other important documents when the parties concerned are no longer able to review or comment on them in a timely manner.

Permanent residence not a condition for inclusion of a dwelling in the permit register
The Council for Permit Disputes (RvVb) confirms that permanent residence is not a requirement for inclusion as a dwelling in the permit register. It is sufficient that the construction is primarily intended for residential use. A request for inclusion in the permit register may therefore not be refused on the grounds that permanent residence has not been demonstrated.
