In order to conduct business activities legally or to start building, a permit is needed. When one starts or expands a business in a private home, for example, permission from the municipal authority is required. You can apply for an all-in-one permit that covers all (building) projects: the integrated environmental permit. Besides, certain permits are mandatory for certain activities, for example, including activities that could have ecological consequences. All applications have to comply with the zoning plan.
