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 should you do?
- To build or remodel, apply for an environmental permit.
