What this layer shows

World Heritage has been placed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO. The legal protection does not run through that list but through Dutch law, in particular through the Erfgoedwet, the omgevingsplan and the underlying rijksmonumenten and beschermde gezichten. The layer contains both the World Heritage areas themselves and their buffer zones; a buffer zone carries the same name as the area it belongs to, so watch for the label property or bufferzone in the subtitle. The RCE reports that most boundaries were digitised on the 1:10,000 topographic map and therefore fit the cadastral parcel map less well.

In these presets

Quickscan

What a consultant checks first: Natura 2000, National Parks and Ramsar wetlands, the public-law restrictions from the Wkpb register, rijksmonumenten, beschermde stads- en dorpsgezichten and World Heritage, the flood defences with their protection zone from the legger, and the province's water abstraction areas, groundwater protection areas and boringsvrije zones. The omgevingsplan and the Natuurnetwerk Nederland are missing here; for those, consult the Omgevingsloket and the provincial omgevingsverordening.

Planning

What carries through into the omgevingsplan and the watertoets: Natura 2000, the national reservations for new autowegen, the Wkpb restrictions, beschermde gezichten, World Heritage and the archaeological and cultural-historical maps of the RCE, the flood defences, protection zones and peilbesluiten of the waterschap, the ROR risk areas and the province's drinking water protection. The omgevingsplan and the bestemmingsplan themselves are not available as a map layer; you read the rules in the Omgevingsloket.

Heritage

For the heritage and archaeology desk study: rijksmonumenten with the link to the register, gemeentelijke monumenten from the Wkpb register, rijksbeschermde stads- en dorpsgezichten, world heritage with buffer zones, rijksbeschermde groenaanleggen, the Archeologische Monumentenkaart and the cultuurhistorische aandachtsgebieden from CultGIS. The gemeentelijke archeologische verwachtingskaart and the municipal heritage register remain authoritative and are not included here.

My parcel

What burdens a parcel: the public-law restrictions from the Kadaster's Wkpb register, rijksmonumenten and beschermde groenaanleggen, beschermde gezichten and World Heritage, Natura 2000, the waterstaatswerk and the protection zone of the waterschap, the peilbesluit, the province's drinking water protection and the national reservations for new autowegen. Every hit refers to a decision or a register; obtain it before you assume that a restriction applies.
