Ground cast Peter Overwater

'Environmental law deeply affects the farm'

Land policy is once again high on the political agenda. There is talk of expropriation to get out of the nitrogen crisis and the old acquaintance, the pre-emptive right, is being used. But making and implementing policy takes time, says steward and land lawyer Peter Overwater. The deadline of the year 2030 is actually no longer realistic in practice. The new Environment and Planning Act, which is scheduled to enter into force on January 1, 2024, has been snowed under a bit. That is not justified, says Overwater in this Grondcast to presenter Jurphaas Lugtenburg. This law, which includes the Activities Decree and environmental permit, gives the government far-reaching powers to intervene on farms.
