Middelburg has a housing stock of over 21,600 dwellings (2023). The historic city centre is designated as a protected townscape and contains more than 1,100 national monuments, placing Middelburg fifth nationally after Amsterdam, Maastricht, Leiden and Utrecht. Anyone wishing to build or renovate in or near the city centre must contend with strict spatial quality rules for the protection of the heritage. This determines what kind of renovation is common in Middelburg and how best to structure your application.

Are you unsure whether your renovation is permit-required? In our knowledge base read what is permit-free.
The Nota ruimtelijke kwaliteit contains all aesthetic and monument quality criteria that the municipality of Middelburg uses when assessing building permit applications. Depending on the nature of the plan, assessment takes place via an administrative fast-track check or via the full ARK advisory process. For major renovations in the protected city centre or in the vicinity of national monuments, the strictest aesthetic review criteria apply. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.
Your application in Middelburg follows fixed steps: a free intake, the design with an aesthetic-review check upfront, the structural calculation by our own structural engineer where needed, and then we submit the environmental permit to the municipality of Middelburg. We do the drawing work digitally and remotely, and you follow every step in your own online file, from quote to completion. Whether you live in Middelburg or elsewhere in Walcheren, you pay the same fixed price upfront.
Since the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet, 1 January 2024) you apply for an environmental permit via the Omgevingsloket. Some renovations are permit-free, others require a permit. Permit check included: if a permit turns out to be required, we submit it for you for €200 incl. VAT + municipal fees (set by your municipality).
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 Middelburg 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.
Alongside standalone drawing prices, we have three fixed packages: Drawing, Drawing + structural calculation and Complete (including submitting the environmental permit). See the packages and prices.
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.
