You want to install a dormer window. You often need a permit for this. You can do a permit check and request via the Environment Desk. Special rules apply in a protected cityscape. You must always apply for a permit for a monument.
What do you need to know
- If the permit check shows that you are allowed to build without a permit, this does not mean rule-free. So you must always comply with the Buildings and Living Environment Decree (general rules about construction).
- You always need a permit if you place a dormer window at the front of your building
- You always need a permit if your building has a monument is
- If your building is in the protected city view state special rules apply. In Hilversum, the Noordwestelijk Villagebied, Plan Oost and Hilversum Zuid districts are protected
- Click whether your building is in a protected cityscape or is a monument
- You will probably need to apply for a permit if you have a want to install a dormer window on a mansard roof (buckled roof).
- Sometimes it is necessary that you also apply for other permits or make notifications. Make sure you check the rules in time and submit the request or notification. This prevents you from not being allowed to start. See the links under the heading View also
welfare rules
- Make sure your plan fits within the rules of the Design note (chapter 5, these are rules about what a building may look like and whether the design fits in with the environment)
- The welfare memorandum mentions 3 welfare levels:
- deprived and ordinary areas
- special welfare areas
- protected situations
- If you do not know the quality of your building, you can contact the Public Affairs department, Backoffice team, via 14 035 of environment permit@hilversum.nl
- Plans that, for example, in terms of dimensions, design and detailing meet the aesthetics rules are usually processed faster
Involve the neighborhood (participation)
- In Hilversum we recommend that anyone who starts a project (initiators) contact people who live in the area or are involved in another way (stakeholders) at an early stage. That's called participation
- For example, it may concern residents who want to place a dormer window, but also companies that want to build a new residential area
- Download the manual Involve the neighborhood (pdf, 256 kb) to know what you need to do, or what may be asked of you when participating
Nature conservation
- You must check whether there are plants or animals living on the construction site that are protected. Find out whether you need permission and how to apply for it
