Spatial planning
All advice involved in spatial planning, urban development and expropriation cases
The legislation involving spatial planning and urban development is still ‘under construction’. At ORYS, we closely monitor this legislation. We offer advice, support and assistance in the legal proceedings involving various aspects of spatial planning and urban development: the planning, permits and enforcement of the regulations.
For professionals, private individuals and government
ORYS works for professionals such as property developers, architects and engineering firms. Municipalities and public administration offices frequently rely on our services. Private individuals can also contact ORYS for all their expropriation, urban development and environmental questions.
Lawyers specialised in environmental law
Starting construction on a new business premises? Or are you considering expanding your current company, but have to take environmental legislation into account? Your environmental permit imposes certain limitations on your company. How can you take the legal aspects of this into account?
Environmental law is an extensive area of the law that is also subject to continual change. Since the subject matter is often very technical, we work closely with technical specialists such as Adviesbureau PH7, our partner for environmental coordination and consultancy.
