§02 Local
Renovating in Ede
Terraced and corner houses together account for 40% of the stock; detached homes make up a relatively large share at 16% compared with many other large municipalities. The housing market is predominantly owner-occupied: 65% of homes are owner-occupied and 21% are managed by a housing corporation. The construction periods are widely spread: 10% dates from before 1945, a large share falls within the post-war construction waves of 1945-1995 and over the past ten years more than 7,000 homes have been added, including in new-build districts such as Kernhem and around the World Food Center. This determines which renovations are common in Ede and how best to set up an application.

Aesthetic review in Ede
The Committee for Spatial Quality (CRK) consists of independent experts in the fields of architecture, landscape, urban design and cultural history. Ede uses an area-specific approach with different aesthetic review levels: special areas with higher image quality requirements, a flexible level for regular residential districts and permit-free zones for business parks and small outbuildings at the rear. Via the online Aesthetic Review Map you can look up in advance the applicable level for a plot. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.
How your application works in Ede
Your application in Ede 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 Ede. 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 Ede or elsewhere in the Veluwe en de Gelderse Vallei, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

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