Practical questions about revocation

How long does a revocation procedure take in Zoetermeer?
The duration depends on the case and whether you file an objection. The administrative authority first announces an intention and gives you the opportunity to respond. This often takes a few weeks to months. With an objection, the process may take longer. In urgent situations, action can be taken more quickly.

What to do if I disagree with the revocation?
You can file an objection with the administrative authority in Zoetermeer within six weeks. In addition, you can request a provisional remedy from the District Court of The Hague to temporarily suspend the revocation. If the objection is rejected, you can appeal. Legal advice, for example via the Juridisch Loket Zoetermeer, is recommended.

Can I retain my permit by remedying a violation?
This depends on the violation and the policy in Zoetermeer. If you correct the violation and report it, revocation can sometimes be prevented. The administrative authority then makes a new balancing of interests.

What if I do not use my permit in Zoetermeer?
In case of non-use, the administrative authority may revoke the permit, for example for an events or catering permit. During the public consultation period, you can explain why you still need the permit.

Is a new permit possible after revocation?
Yes, but the reason for revocation plays a role. In case of previous violations, the administrative authority in Zoetermeer may assess more strictly. Ensure that you provide all information correctly and resolve previous issues.

How am I informed about a revocation?
The administrative authority in Zoetermeer sends a written notification, usually by post or email, about the intention to revoke. It states the reason and allows you to respond. After the decision, you receive an official confirmation.
