Common renovations in Heerenveen

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 Heerenveen 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 Heerenveen

Before the municipality grants a building permit, it requests advice from the aesthetic review committee hus en hiem. That committee assesses whether a building plan meets the aesthetic requirements from the aesthetic review policy. The policy includes three accompanying maps with area levels, district designations and image quality plans. For renovations or extensions in Heerenveen it is advisable to check in advance the applicable area criteria in the Welstandsnota 2016, so that you know which requirements apply to your location. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.

How your application works in Heerenveen

Your application in Heerenveen 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 Heerenveen. 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 Heerenveen or elsewhere in Zuidoost-Friesland, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

§04 Permit required?

Do you need a permit in Heerenveen?

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 Heerenveen 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 Heerenveen

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.

1. What type of renovation?
2. Is the structure located in the rear-garden zone (back garden, behind the front facade)?
3. Is the property a listed building or located within a protected townscape?
