Afgebakende overstromingsgebieden en oeverzones
What this layer shows
Overstromingsgebieden and oeverzones formally delimited in implementation of the decreet Integraal Waterbeleid. The delimitation brings with it a right of pre-emption, a duty to purchase and a duty to compensate. Fixed rules apply in the oeverzone: no fertiliser within five metres of the top edge of the bank slope, no pesticides or soil working within one metre and no new above-ground structures within five metres. In the overstromingsgebied itself, building is assessed through the watertoets. Unlike the model maps, this is a legal delimitation with a decision of its own.

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.
Water and soil
The watertoets and the duty to inform: flood-prone areas from rivers, from rainfall and from the sea, risk zones, designated overstromingsgebieden, recently and naturally floodable land, groundwater protection and groundwater bodies, the Vlaamse Hydrografische Atlas, polders en wateringen, bekkens and bathing water. With the soil layers included: PFAS no regret zones, radon risk zones and active extraction sites.
