Application for a Felling Permit in Haarlem

We at Tree Care Specialist are happy to help you navigate the complexities of applying for a felling permit in Haarlem. Whether it involves felling, transplanting, or major tree pruning, we offer expert support through the entire process.

When is a Logging Permit Needed?

In Haarlem, it is often necessary to apply for an environmental permit if you want to cut down a tree, even if it is in your own garden. This also applies to transplanting trees or performing major pruning work. You can apply for this permit through the Omgevingsloket.

Documents Required for the Application

Applying for a felling permit in Haarlem requires you to prepare several documents, including:

  • A site plan showing all objects and trees, including dimensions.
  • Photos of the tree.
  • A replanting plan stating which new tree you will plant where or explaining why replanting is not possible.

Exceptions to the Permit Requirement.

You do not need a permit if:

  • The tree is thinner than 50 cm at a height of 1.30 meters.
  • The plot is smaller than 100 m² and the tree is not visible from the public road.

Our Role in Your Application Process

We will guide you from the initial inspection of the tree to the submission of the necessary documents. Our team has extensive experience with local laws and will help you maximize the chances of getting your application approved.

Cost of the Permit

The cost of a felling permit depends on the number of trees to be cut down:

  • €350 for one tree.
  • € 700 for 2 to 5 trees.
  • €1,050 for 5 to 10 trees.
  • €1,400 for 10 or more trees.

Timeline and Process After Application

Once your application is submitted, it is reviewed by a tree specialist. The initial review period is often eight weeks, but may be extended for more complex applications. You will be informed of the progress and any extensions.
