Wijziging van de Omgevingswet (maatwerkaanpak PAS-projecten)

This Dutch legislative procedure proposes changes to the Omgevingswet (Environment and Planning Act) to create a tailored approach for projects that were covered by the PAS (Programma Aanpak Stikstof, the nitrogen approach programme). The PAS was a system that allowed certain construction and economic activities to proceed despite nitrogen emissions affecting protected Natura 2000 nature areas, and it was invalidated by the Court of Justice of the EU and the Dutch Council of State. The amendment aims to give a legal basis for handling the permits of these projects individually. The proposal mainly affects project developers, farmers, municipalities, provinces, and businesses whose permits or plans depended on the PAS. It may also affect the protection of nature areas, as it determines how their nitrogen impact is assessed and permitted.
