§02 Local
Renovating in Hengelo
The housing stock consists of 32 percent apartments and 28 percent semi-detached homes, with a further distribution across corner houses (15%), mid-terrace or terraced houses (14%) and detached homes (12%). The largest construction cohort dates from the 1970s-1980s with more than 6,500 homes, a direct reflection of the strong population growth in the period when Hengelo, as a metal industry city with companies such as Stork, Hazemeyer and Heemaf, was at its economic peak; 18 percent of the housing stock dates from before 1945. This determines which renovations are common in Hengelo and how best to set up an application.

Aesthetic review in Hengelo
The Advisory Committee for Environmental Quality consists of seven independent experts in the fields of architecture, urban design, cultural history and building history and is chaired by R. Seckel. The committee meets twice a month and advises the council of mayor and aldermen on building permits. The municipality of Hengelo is a partner member of Het Oversticht, the organisation that provides aesthetic review and heritage advice for municipalities in Overijssel and surrounding regions. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.
How your application works in Hengelo

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 Hengelo or elsewhere in Twente, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

§04 Permit required?
Do you need a permit in Hengelo?
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 Hengelo 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

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.
§06 Service area
Construction drawings in Hengelo and surroundings
Hengelo is the fourth city of Overijssel with over 84,000 residents and lies at the heart of the Twente region. The city grew explosively from the second half of the nineteenth century thanks to the arrival of machinery manufacturer Stork in 1868 and the establishment of a cluster of metal companies that earned Hengelo the nickname 'metal city'. After the 1944 bombing, the post-war reconstruction and the industrial transition of the late twentieth century, the city today consists of a varied mix of historic post-war reconstruction buildings, planned 1970s neighbourhoods and recent new-build extensions.
