Description

Property owners on Gebrookerplein, Hoofdstraat (from Markt to Gebrookerplein), Nieuwstraat (between Gebrookerplein and Marktstraat), or Markt can apply for the subsidy. Tackling, improving, and repairing facades makes a valuable contribution to improving the appearance of Hoensbroek-Centrum. With the new scheme, property owners can apply for a subsidy to tackle their outdated, ugly, or boring facades. 

The scheme covers:

  • restoring facades with cultural-historical and/or iconic value to their original condition
  • removing objects and parts on facades that disrupt or detract from the appearance 
  • restoring facade ensembles.
  • You may also be eligible for a subsidy for restoring multiple facades that form a single entity and enhance the streetscape.

Requirements

The Requirements facades in Hoensbroek-Centrum to be eligible for subsidy are: 

  • Restore buildings/facades with cultural-historical and/or iconic value to their original condition.
  • Restoring the architecture by putting buildings back "on solid ground"; aligning and connecting the ground floor with the rest of the facade.
  • Restoring facade ensembles. 
  • Removal of objects and parts on facades that disrupt or detract from the appearance
  • Restoring facades to their original condition through repair work
  • The restoration contributes to the increased/improved or renewed appropriate use of the entire building, for example because it is currently (partly) vacant.
