Dutch term or phrase: omgevingsvergunning

vergunning, juridisch, gemeente

marinus

physical environment permit

Explanation:
Adding "physical" moves it away from the "milieu" connotation. And it also appears to be used in the English translation of the abstract of the relevant Act: http://www.ecolex.org/ecolex/ledge/view/RecordDetails;DIDPFD...

Asker: OK, the ministry is always right! right? Thanks Marinus

Asker: Planning would indeed sound better, but again it would be too narrow.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Olly Pekelharing: Can't argue with the Dutch ministry responsible for the permit in the first place! Not one of their most eloquent translations tho...

13 mins

-> agree with you - it's hideous ;-)

agree

Chris Hopley

35 mins

agree

writeaway: As Dunglish as it gets. Don't think a native Anglo was involved (certainly hope not at least). Personally I'd avoid using it -would keep the NL and just use all-purpose environmental permit or something. What a howler. /and just omit omgeving?

43 mins

-> agree, but would avoid the use of 'environmental'. All-purpose planning permit?//maybe not, but doesn't environmental have too much of a 'milieu' ring to it?

agree

Kitty Brussaard: 'All-purpose planning permit' would sound a lot better, but who are we to disagree with the Dutch Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Milieu .... :-)

1 hr

neutral

Tina Vonhof: I wouldn't adopt a wrong translation by the Dutch ministry. No native English-speaking person would understand what this means.

3 hrs

-> fair enough ... so what would you suggest?

5 hrs confidence:

environment permit

Explanation:
'environment permit' as opposed to an 'environmental permit' allows changes to be made, not only to scenery, but also buildings,
particularly listed buildings or 'Rijksmonumenten'

Bonavon

22 hrs confidence:

planning permission

Explanation:
If this translation is for the UK or British English usage then it is

planning permission

Planning permission covers quite a range of activities, including all that you have listed.

Notes to answerer

Asker: The translation is intended for foreign companies active in the Netherlands. The 'omgevingsvergunning' includes things like discharging waste water, cleaning up contaminated soil, placing a billboard on your exterior wall, etc. I don't think the planning permission covers all that

Reference: omgevingsvergunning

Reference information:
http://overheidsloket.overheid.nl/index.php?p=product&produc...

Omgevingsvergunning
(…) Deze vergunning vervangt veel vergunningen op het gebied van wonen, ruimte, milieu en natuur. Als u meerdere toestemmingen nodig hebt, is de omgevingsvergunning voldoende.
(…)
Een voorbeeld: vroeger had u twee toestemmingen nodig wanneer u bijvoorbeeld een beschermd monument wilde verbouwen. U moest dan een bouwvergunning en monumentenvergunning aanvragen. Dit betekende dat u twee procedures moest doorlopen. Met de komst van de omgevingsvergunning is dit verleden tijd. U hebt nog maar één vergunning nodig en u hoeft dus maar één procedure te doorlopen.

Een greep uit de producten die zijn ondergebracht in de omgevingsvergunning:
• aanlegvergunning;
• sloopvergunning;
• ontheffing bestemmingsplan;
• bouwvergunning;
• monumentenvergunning;
• ontheffing verbod lozen afvalwater;
• uitweg/inritvergunning;
• vergunning voor alarminstallatie aan een woning of gebouw;
• kapvergunning;
• milieuvergunning;
• provinciaal project besluit;
• vergunning voor handelingen in beschermd natuurgebied;
• ontheffing beschermde inheemse diersoorten Flora- en faunawet;
• reclamevergunning.

"A main element of this programme is the integrated physical environment permit (omgevingsvergunning) that will integrate
different permits within the field of housing, environment and physical domain (26 in total) into one integrated permit."
