What this layer shows

Speciale beschermingszones designated under the European Habitats Directive, drawn here as the full outline of each site. Anyone planning an activity that requires a permit in or near such a zone must have a passende beoordeling drawn up as soon as a significant impact on the natural characteristics cannot be ruled out. This layer gives the identity of the site; for the finer boundary, use the layer with the sub-areas.

Natura 2000

The Natura 2000 network of the three Regions: the Walloon and Brussels sites, and the Flemish habitat- en vogelrichtlijngebieden. This is the free set, the one the map opens with everywhere in Belgium.

Desk study

What a consultancy or a notary checks first in Flanders: SBZ-H and SBZ-V with their sub-sites, VEN and IVON, Ramsar, nature reserves and natuurbeheerplannen, land-use designation and overdrukken from DSI, rights of pre-emption, protected heritage and archaeology, flood-prone land, signaalgebieden and drinking water protection zones. The rest of water, soil, land use and heritage sits in a set of its own.
