In Haarlem, the Adviescommissie Omgevingskwaliteit assesses building plans against the aesthetic review criteria in the Nota Ruimtelijke Kwaliteit, within the framework of the zoning plan. Additional requirements apply to the monumental city centre and the protected townscape, so a construction drawing that fits the existing architecture helps to pass the aesthetic review in one go. We check those requirements in advance, which means 90% of our designs pass first time.
Your application in Haarlem 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 Haarlem. 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 Haarlem or elsewhere in the regio Zuid-Kennemerland, you pay the same fixed price upfront.
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 Haarlem 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.
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.
Haarlem combines a largely protected, monumental city centre with large-scale post-war expansions such as Schalkwijk from the 1960s and 1970s. In the pre-war and listed building areas, a structural calculation is more frequently required and a strict aesthetic review applies. In the post-war Schalkwijk neighbourhoods, by contrast, there is more scope for a roof extension or extension.
We provide construction drawings, building permits and structural calculations in all neighbourhoods of Haarlem. The housing stock varies by area, and with it the typical renovation and aesthetic review requirements.
