Swimming pool distance from the plot boundary
Netherlands
The applicable zone depends on the municipal environmental plan, provincial rules and water-board rules. Check the official Rules on the Map for this property before fixing the distance.
Distances and rules
A swimming pool is treated as an "other structure": it is set back from the plot boundary so it stays accessible for servicing and drainage. Clean pool water is not a contamination source, so there is no sanitary distance to a well.
