Renovating in Amstelveen

The housing stock consists of 53 percent apartments and 31 percent terraced houses; the largest construction cohorts date from the periods 1945-1965 and 1965-1975 (each approximately 22 percent), reflecting the municipality's post-war growth period. The rental-owner ratio is almost equal: 48 percent owner-occupied homes versus 52 percent rental homes, of which 29 percent owned by corporations and 23 percent in the private sector. This determines which renovations are common in Amstelveen and how best to set up an application.

Common renovations in Amstelveen

Are you unsure whether your renovation is permit-required? In our knowledge base read what is permit-free.

Aesthetic review in Amstelveen

The Committee for Spatial Quality advises the council of mayor and aldermen on building permits for both new construction and renovations and assesses applications in protected townscapes and at monuments as a matter of course. In 2015 aesthetic review policy was revised: large parts of the municipality became light-touch, while stricter assessment was retained for the 1930s districts, protected townscapes and the Amsteloever. Meeting minutes are available on request via the municipal building and permits desk. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.

How your application works in Amstelveen

Your application in Amstelveen follows fixed steps: a free intake, the design with an upfront aesthetic review check, where necessary the structural calculation by our KIWA-certified structural engineer, and then we submit the building permit application to the municipality of Amstelveen. We carry out all drawing work digitally and remotely, and you can follow every step in your own online file, from quote to completion. Whether you live in Amstelveen or elsewhere in the Amstelland-Meerlanden region, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

Do you need a permit in Amstelveen?

Since the Environment and Planning Act came into force (1 January 2024), you apply for an environmental permit (planning permission) through the Environment Desk. Some renovations are permit-free, others require a permit. We carry out the permit check upfront so you know exactly where you stand.

Whether you can build without a permit depends on where the structure is located (the rear-garden zone), the height and the distance to the property boundary, and the municipality's environment and planning policy. A rear dormer or small extension is often permit-free; a roof extension, a front extension or work on a listed building almost never is. Even permit-free construction must comply with the technical building requirements of the Buildings Decree (Bbl).

If a permit is required, the standard procedure applies: the municipality decides within 8 weeks, with a one-off extension of 6 weeks. Your plans are assessed against the Buildings Decree (Bbl), the environment and planning policy, and the aesthetics committee criteria. In Amstelveen we know and check the aesthetics policy from the municipality in advance, so your design passes the assessment first time. Read more about the applying for an environmental permit.
