Revocation of Permits: Sectoral Rules and Exceptions

Sectoral laws deviate from the Awb for revocation decisions, especially for environmental, construction or catering permits. The Environment and Planning Act (Ow) centralises this in article 5.13, with stricter requirements for hearing and balancing of interests.

Specific Sectors

In the construction sector (article 5.1 Wabo/Ow), revocation applies in case of abuse. For environmental permits (Chapter 10 Ow), the public interest prevails. Exceptions:

  • No revocation if third-party interested party reasonably trusted continuation (principle of legitimate expectations)
  • Statutes of limitations in sectoral laws
  • Transitional provisions upon legislative changes

Practical Tips

Always check the specific law alongside the Awb. In case of revocation due to non-compliance: negotiate enforcement periods. This article highlights nuances for entrepreneurs in regulated sectors. (199 words)
