Further information

The following information is available:

Even if all factual and legal requirements are met, you are not entitled to be granted a special use permit. The competent authority decides on your application at its own discretion.

As a rule, the competent authority will grant you the special use permit for a limited period and subject to revocation. This means that the granted permit can be withdrawn. The permit is usually issued with conditions that you must fulfill.

The competent authority may require you to pay for the removal of any damage caused by your special use. The competent authority may also require you to make an advance payment or deposit a sum of money as security.
