Building and renovating in Gelderland

Gelderland is the largest province by surface area, with the Veluwe, the river area and cities such as Arnhem, Nijmegen, Apeldoorn and Ede. Construction ranges from pre-war urban extensions in Nijmegen and Arnhem to villages and the countryside on the Veluwe and in the floodplains. In the river area, dykes, floodplains and high water play a role in building. Each municipality tests against its own aesthetic review policy, and we know the differences between the Veluwe villages, the river villages and the cities.

§03 Permit required?

Do you need a permit in Gelderland?

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 Gelderland 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.

§04 Quick check

Do the permit check for Gelderland

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?
§05 Aesthetic review by area

Aesthetics committee & housing stock in Gelderland

Every municipality assesses against its own aesthetics policy. Stringency varies within Gelderland; we align your construction drawing with those requirements in advance.

CityHousing stockAesthetic review
ArnhemArnhem's city centre was largely destroyed during the Battle of Arnhem in 1944 and subsequently rebuilt, while pre-war neighbourhoods such as the Spijkerkwartier and Klarendal retained their characteristic buildings and new-build districts like Schuytgraaf only arose from the 2000s onwards.By area
ApeldoornMuch of Apeldoorn's housing stock dates from the post-war reconstruction period and the 1960s and 1970s, with large expansion districts such as Kerschoten and Zevenhuizen and the typical cul-de-sac neighbourhood De Maten, alongside older leafy villa areas such as De Parken.By area
