§02 Local
Renovating in Assen
The housing stock consists of 31% terraced houses and 31% apartments, alongside corner houses (15%), semi-detached homes (13%) and detached homes (11%). A large part of the housing was built in the post-war period: the neighborhoods from the 1960s and 1970s dominate the stock, while new-build districts such as Marsdijk and Kloosterveen (built after 1985 and 1997 respectively) together account for approximately 27% of the total stock. This determines which renovations are common in Assen and how best to set up an application.

Aesthetic review in Assen
The Welstands- en reclamenota Gemeente Assen 2012 distinguishes around 20 areas, each with their own aesthetic review criteria matching the character of the neighbourhood. The Committee for Spatial Quality consists of independent experts including architects, an urban designer or landscape architect, a building historian and a monuments expert, supplemented by two citizen members. Committee meetings are open to the public. With the entry into force of the Environment and Planning Act on 1 January 2024, the committee has continued to function and also advises on activities relating to monuments. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.

The drawing work is done digitally and remotely, and you follow every step in your own online file, from quote to completion. Whether you live in Assen or elsewhere in the Regio Groningen-Assen, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

§04 Permit required?
Do you need a permit in Assen?
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 Assen 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.
