How much can I build in Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht?
That depends on the plot: the zoning plan that applies (the regional zoning plan, a RUP or a BPA), the regulations and what is there now. The Perceelscan works it out for each address: how many m² of floor area may legally be built, and how many are already built.
Do I need an environmental permit in Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht?
For most works, yes: building, renovating, demolishing and splitting a dwelling generally require an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning, formerly called the building permit or planning permit), which you apply for through the Omgevingsloket portal. Some minor works are exempt or only require a notification: vlaanderen.be sets out the rules. For each address, the Perceelscan also shows the existing permits.
Can I demolish and rebuild in Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht?
Demolition usually requires an environmental permit. What you may build afterwards is determined by the plan and the regulations that apply to the plot; heritage status, a plan in preparation or an expropriation can stand in the way. The Perceelscan sets it all out for each address.
Can I split a dwelling into several units in Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht?
For Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht, the register lists no separate regulation on housing, but the general regulation ‘Algemene Stedenbouwkundige Verordening Beveren’ (only in the former municipality of Beveren) may contain rules on it. For each address, the Perceelscan lists the regulations that apply to the plot, with a link to their text. Splitting a dwelling into several dwellings generally requires an environmental permit, even without any building works (see splitting a dwelling on vlaanderen.be).
How many parking spaces must I provide in Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht?
In Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht, the regulation ‘Stedenbouwkundige verordening-stedenbouwkundige last-overeenkomst tot betaling van een compensatoire vergoeding voor ontbrekende parkeerplaatsen bij omgevingsvergunning of regularisatie van woongebouwen’ (only in the former municipality of Zwijndrecht) determines how many car and bicycle parking spaces a project must provide; this depends on the number of dwellings or the floor area.
Do I need to install a rainwater tank in Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht?
Often, yes, when you build, rebuild or extend a building or a paved surface: the regional regulation on rainwater (2023) then sets rules for collecting and reusing rainwater, letting it soak into the ground or buffering it. Which measure your project requires depends on its surface area. Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht has its own rules on water in the regulation ‘Gemeentelijke Stedenbouwkundige bouwverordening 'Overwelven van Baangrachten'’ (only in the former municipality of Kruibeke).

Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht has its own rules on this in the regulation ‘Gemeentelijke bouwverordening betreffende de beplanting en de topografie van de bodem in de gemeente Kruibeke’ (only in the former municipality of Kruibeke). Whether cutting down (felling) a tree requires an environmental permit depends on the tree and its location; the regulation and the Flemish rules specify this.
