STEP FOR STEP
Several aspects are assessed when applying for a padel court licence. Here are the main points.
Is the site suitable according to the zoning plan? And does the padel court meet all building regulations such as height, construction and dimensions? This forms the basis for a successful permit application.
The application usually requires an acoustic and light survey. This shows that local residents do not experience any noise or light nuisance. Sometimes additional ecological research is required.
Consider supplying construction calculations, noise standards and other required documents. In addition, allow for a lead time - a permit process takes time.
Is a permit needed?
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 of the environmental counter 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.
Hallmark & certification
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.

Sound and light
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.
Licensing challenges
Applying for a permit for a padel court sometimes seems more complex than necessary. Municipalities have different interpretations of the regulations, so the process can differ from one location to another.

WE BUILD, MAINTAIN AND FACILITATE PADEL FUN.
Do I always need planning permission to build a padel court?
In almost all cases, you need an environmental permit to build a padel court. This is because a padel court is considered a permanent sports facility, which involves both architectural and environmental aspects. Municipalities test for building height, construction, spatial integration and noise, among other things. Allesvoorpadel looks at the location, the zoning plan and the technical specifications of the track, so you know in advance whether an application is feasible. This prevents delays and unnecessary costs.
What studies should I submit with the permit application?
Municipalities usually ask for an acoustic and lighting study to assess whether there will be no nuisance for local residents. Depending on the location and type of project, ecological surveys or additional technical calculations may also be required, such as construction calculations according to the Building Code. Allesvoorpadel works with specialised agencies that carry out these investigations quickly and accurately. This way, you will have all the necessary documents complete for a successful application.
How long does it take to get a permit for a padel court?
The processing time varies by municipality, but count on an average of 8 to 14 weeks from the time the application is fully submitted. If there are additional questions or missing investigations, the process may take longer. By preparing the application process well and supplying all documents correctly in one go, you will significantly reduce the total processing time. Allesvoorpadel will help you with a tight planning so that construction can start as soon as possible.
How can Allesvoorpadel help make my permit application faster and smoother?
At Allesvoorpadel, we guide the entire process: from site inspection and zoning plan check to conducting surveys, collecting technical documentation and submitting the permit application. We know exactly what municipalities pay attention to and how to avoid potential objections. Thanks to our experience in building and maintaining padel courts, we ensure a complete, clear and professional file. This increases the chances of a quick approval and prevents unforeseen obstacles.
