Residents and entrepreneurs can apply for a building activity digitally (DIGID or E-recognition) via the Environment Counter. This algorithm looks at being able to apply for activities, with this specifically seeing whether or not the Building Activity Omgevingsloket requires an environmental permit.

Goal and impact

The purpose of e-services with the underlying algorithm is to help residents and entrepreneurs submit a digital application (environmental permits/pre-consultations). This allows this application to be submitted (correctly and completely). In addition, the algorithm provides a permit check: is an environmental permit needed or not (however, no rights can be derived from this).

A resident or entrepreneur submits an application completely by himself, without the intervention of a municipal employee. However, if the resident or company is unclear, an employee of the municipality may intervene. The municipality of Beekdaelen is happy to offer anyone assistance in completing the application if this leads to difficulties.

An application always enters the case system (Rx.Mission) of the municipality of Beekdaelen. This is checked by an employee of the administration and then forwarded to the appropriate department. Per department, the work stock is distributed among the employees. The algorithm looks only at being able to make a (digital) request and receive it in the municipality's digital case system. Approving or rejecting an application (granting or refusing) is only possible with the intervention of an Environmental Act case manager (employee of the municipality of Beekdaelen).

The impact is that such an application can be submitted to the municipality efficiently and at all times (at the resident's preference); after all, a resident/company has already carried out various steps (work), leaving the Environmental Act case manager more time for the substantive applications the municipality receives. The quality and efficiency of service delivery goes up because of these services.

Considerations

Handling all applications through the counter is no longer an option for the municipality. This is due to high numbers and time pressure. An algorithm offers residents and entrepreneurs guidance with (digital) applications. For people who are not or less digital-literate, there is always the option to apply via the municipal counter.

Human intervention

The application proceeds via a questionnaire, with prior verification of laws and regulations (permit check). This is always followed by a human assessment by the case manager and internal/external consultant(s). Each application is therefore always assessed by an employee. If the assessment is positive, the staff member makes a decision and sends it to the applicant. In case of a rejection, the caseworker sends a rejection to the applicant. In all cases, the employee and not the algorithm assesses and handles the application.

Risk management

The Kingdom has set up the question tree to take risks into account and by definition tries to avoid them. In the case of changes or additions to the questionnaire, the municipality also organises the questionnaire in such a way that it takes risks into account and by definition tries to prevent them. Subsequently, in all cases, the assessment and further treatment is carried out by an employee.

Legal basis

Environment Act and its associated decrees (Environment Decree, Quality of the Living Environment Decree, Activities in the Living Environment Decree, Building Works in the Living Environment Decree), the (temporary part of the) Environment Plan (including zoning plans, ordinances), the Environment Vision and the municipality's policies.

Technical design

Handling all applications over the counter or by phone is no longer an option for the municipality. This is due to high numbers and time constraints. An algorithm allows residents and entrepreneurs to submit applications digitally. This also partly in view of the (more advanced) digital age. For people who are not or less digital-literate, there is always the possibility of guided digital submission. There is also always the option of submitting an application physically (on paper by post). All applications (including those on paper) are processed digitally or received automatically in the case system.
