Extensive or intensive

There are two types of green roofs, namely extensive and intensive. An extensive green roof is for ‘decoration’ and cannot be walked on. An intensive roof is more comparable to a garden and can be walked on (roof garden). Very different rules apply to the latter in connection with roof taxes and building permits.

Building permit
A building permit must be applied for before installing an intensive green roof. This is sometimes necessary for an extensive green roof, depending on the size and weight. If the weight of the roof (saturated with water) is more than two hundred kilograms per square meter or the thickness of the substrate layer (specially composed roof garden soil of crushed clay granules and other organic material) is more than twenty centimeters, a permit must be applied for. This is not necessary with a light extensive green roof or vegetation roof.
