Announcement of environmental permit: when applying for a permit, you must announce certain decisions to third parties. This is done by posting a yellow poster in A2 format. The present article explains in which cases. It also discusses the correct way of posting and its importance.
In which cases should I proceed with posting
Of a poster?
There are three times when you should apply for a yellow poster in A2 format
paste:
- At the start of the public research.
- When a licence was granted.
- When a licence was refused.
A refusal must be posted only if a public
research has taken place.
Announcing the start date of the public enquiry is important for local residents. They can then object to an environmental permit.

How is this sticking-up going?
The municipality will make the poster available to you. You should then send the
Notify municipality of start date of posting.
This is done, for example, through a statement in the Environment Counter or the
filling in a form. Usually, you should also attach a photo of the posting.
The text of the placard always states the following details:
- The object of the application.
- The location of the application.
- Licence applicant.
- Competent authority.
- The place where the application or decision can be viewed.
- The ability to object or appeal.
In the case of the publication of a public enquiry, the
poster as well:
- The start and end dates of the public enquiry.
- The government from which relevant information can be obtained.

Which way should I attach the poster?
The poster should always post on the public road. This at the place where
one will execute the licence. The poster should always be clearly legible
are from the public road. For example, at the window if your property
adjacent to the street.
- If this place borders several public roads, a poster should be affixed to each of them.
- If the place is not adjacent to a public road, the poster shall be posted at a place on the nearest public road.
The posting will last for 30 days. During this period, the poster must also
always remain in the same place. The poster can be attached to
a fence, a wall or on a sign on a pole. The text should always
parallel to the public road at a maximum height of
2 metres.
De aanplakking bestaat uit een gele affiche van minimaal A2-formaat met
zwarte letters.
De Raad van State en de Raad voor Vergunningsbetwistingen kijken streng op
de naleving van deze vereisten toe. Zo oordeelde de Raad van State reeds dat het
afdrukken van de affiche op een wit blad met zwarte letters om vervolgens dit
witte blad op een groter geel blad te kleven, geen correcte aanplakking betrof.
De affiche moet ook steeds goed leesbaar zijn. U neemt dus best maatregelen om ze te beschermen tegen wind en regen. Bijvoorbeeld door ze aan te brengen op een stevig houten bord. Ook bescherming met plastic folie is aan te raden. Deze folie mag de leesbaarheid niet beïnvloeden.
Mogelijks kan u bij de gemeente hiervoor materiaal huren (houten borden, palen,…). Eventueel kan u vragen dat de gemeente de aanplakking voor u doet. In dit geval is mogelijks een vergoeding verschuldigd.

What are the consequences if the posting is not correct
expired?
Proper posting is important for the validity of the
public enquiry. The posting of the final decision then again leaves
the third-party appeal period runs. If you appeal within 35 days from
the first day of posting have not been notified of a
appeal, you may use the permit. Does the posting expire
irregular, it may be possible to appeal even after the 30-day period
be set.

Decision: environmental permit publication plays important role for validity of permit
Het correct aanplakken van een gele affiche in A2-formaat is een belangrijke stap. Op die manier brengt u derden en omwoners op de hoogte van de status van de vergunningsaanvraag. En zonder juiste aanplakking loopt u het risico op een langere aanvraag. De Raad van State en de Raad voor Vergunningsbetwistingen kijken streng toe op de naleving van de wettelijke vereisten. U heeft er dan ook alle belang bij om de affiche correct aan te plakken.
