Padel court licence
The construction of a padel court is an exciting process that starts with an essential step: obtaining a licence. Whether you are a club looking to expand its facilities or a municipality looking to build a new sports facility, proper preparation for the permit application is crucial. Below, we explain how to go through the process smoothly and what to look out for.
Is a permit required for a padel court?
You always need planning permission to build a padel court. As the court is a structure, specific building regulations and municipal regulations apply to it. This means that an environmental permit is required for a padel court.
Start by checking the site's zoning plan. On the website www.omgevingsloket.nl you can easily perform a permit check. This will tell you whether you need to apply for the permit from the municipality or, in some cases, the province.

Several aspects are assessed when applying for a padel court licence. Here are the main points:
- Zoning padel court: Is the chosen site suitable for a sports facility?
- Building regulations: Do you meet the requirements in terms of height, construction and dimensions?
- Nuisance research: An acoustic survey and lighting survey are often needed to assess whether local residents are not experiencing nuisance.
- Required documentation: With the application, you have to submit various data, such as structural calculations (Building code), noise standards and possible ecological research.
- Lead time: Allow for a waiting time.
Padel courts produce more noise than tennis courts, with an average sound source power of 91dB. This is due to the impact of the ball against the glass and the amplifying effect of the cage. Therefore, a detailed acoustic research essential, especially if the location is close to homes.
Also lighting can be a point of discussion. A good lighting plan with appropriate luminaires such as line or point lighting can help reduce nuisance.
Upon completion of a padel court, an inspection by a recognised institute, such as Kiwa ISA Sport, is mandatory. This checks whether the court meets the applicable standards. Only courts that successfully pass this inspection may be used for official matches and tournaments.
In addition, suppliers must have their padel cages and surfaces tested and approved by NOC*NSF, after which they are included in the sports product list.
Licensing challenges
The procedure for establishing a padel court is not always uniform. Municipal regulations for padel courts are sometimes interpreted differently. This makes it important to follow the laws and regulations carefully and engage in early discussions with the parties involved.
