Construction and remodeling, welfare

If you apply for an environmental permit for a renovation, we will submit your application to the city building inspector (welstand).

The city architect reviews:

  • What the building will look like after construction or remodeling,
  • What materials are used.
  • Whether your building plan fits into the existing environment or with other building plans in the area.
  • The quality of your building plan.

All the rules you must follow when building or remodeling are in the Welstandsnota Zoetermeer and in image quality plans.

Rules for a small remodel

Are you going to remodel something small? For example:

  • build a canopy
  • Changing the window frames or facade
  • install a dormer window
  • make a garden fence

There are specially short rules for that. Check that your building plan is consistent with those rules before applying for an Environmental Permit.

What to do?

  • To build or remodel, apply for an environmental permit.
