What this layer shows

The waterstaatswerk of the flood defence: the full polygon of the defence as recorded in the legger, so not only the centreline but the boundary within which the strictest regime of the waterschapsverordening, formerly the keur, applies. Works within this polygon usually require an omgevingsvergunning voor een wateractiviteit or a notification to the waterschap. Many objects carry no name but only a leggercode, and not every waterschap supplies this layer: an empty result does not mean that there is no flood defence there.

In these presets

Water

Everything you discuss with the waterschap and the province: the legger with flood defences, waterstaatswerken and protection zones, the normtrajecten of the primaire keringen, the peilbesluit areas, the KRW water bodies of Rijkswaterstaat, the ROR risk areas and the waterwingebieden, grondwaterbeschermingsgebieden and boringsvrije zones. Not every waterschap supplies every layer, so an empty result is no proof that no zoning applies.

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.
