§02 Local
Renovating in The Hague
This determines which renovations are common in Den Haag and how best to set up an application.
Common renovations in Den Haag
Whether it concerns a dormer, a extension, a roof extension or the converting the loft: for each type we supply a permit-ready construction drawing that suits the homes in Den Haag and the requirements of the municipality. Are you unsure whether your renovation is permit-required? In our knowledge base read what is permit-free.
Aesthetic review in The Hague
Den Haag assesses building plans against the zoning plan and aesthetic review policy, and plans may be submitted to the Adviescommissie omgevingskwaliteit en cultureel erfgoed. The bar is higher in pre-war and protected neighbourhoods, so a construction drawing that fits the streetscape increases the chances of passing the aesthetic review in one go. We check those requirements in advance, which means 90% of our designs pass first time.
How your application works in Den Haag
Your application in Den Haag follows a fixed set of steps: a free intake, the design with an aesthetic review check in advance, a structural calculation by our KIWA-certified structural engineer where needed, and then we submit the building permit to the municipality of Den Haag. 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 Den Haag or elsewhere in the regio Haaglanden, you pay the same fixed price upfront.
§03 What you get
What you submit to the municipality
A permit-ready construction drawing is more than just a plan. For your application in Den Haag, we provide the complete set of documents the municipality needs to assess your request.
Floor plans: existing & proposedThe existing and proposed layouts drawn to scale, with dimensions, areas and the function of each room.
Facade elevationsAll facades before and after the renovation, so the municipality can assess the streetscape and aesthetics committee requirements.
SectionsVertical sections showing heights, datum levels and the build-up of floors, walls and roof.
Site planYour property on the cadastral base map with a north arrow, plot boundaries and distances to the property boundary.
Detail & principle drawingsConnection details and structural principles as required by the municipality or structural engineer.
Structural principleWhere required, a structural overview with a KIWA-certified structural calculation if the municipality demands one.
§04 Permit required?
Do you need a permit in The Hague?
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 Den Haag 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.
§05 Quick check
Do the permit check for The Hague
Answer three questions for an instant indication of whether you can build permit-free. Based on the national rules (Environment and Planning Act/Bbl); we always confirm it with a free check.

Construction drawings in Den Haag and surroundings
Much of Den Haag was built between approximately 1904 and 1940, with the characteristic Den Haag stairwell house as a common building type. These pre-war properties often require a structural calculation and a stricter aesthetic review, particularly in protected areas. In the post-war and VINEX neighbourhoods such as Escamp and Ypenburg, there is in fact more often scope for a roof extension or extension.

Aesthetic review in Den Haag.

In pre-war and protected neighbourhoods the standards are higher, so a drawing that fits the streetscape increases the chance of passing the aesthetic review first time.
