Municipality illegally adjusted environmental permit for Zandvoort circuit, court rules
A court has ruled that Zandvoort municipality was not authorized to grant a new environmental permit for the town’s race circuit. The Noord-Holland District Court determined that authority over the circuit’s environmental permit lies with the province, not the municipality. Since the province issued the original 1997 permit and oversees the circuit, Zandvoort’s municipal executive did not have the power to revise it in May 2024.
The municipality of Zandvoort should not have issued the new environmental permit for the race track in the North Holland seaside resort. The permit granted in May 2024 included, among other things, tightened noise standards for the Zandvoort circuit. However, the judge ruled that the Province of North Holland, not the municipality, is the competent authority for this and has reversed the decision.
