Building permit grant inspection for neighbors
A construction project may have an impact on the neighbouring plots of the building plot. That is why the Building Code contains numerous provisions to protect neighbours.
This includes, for example, boundary distances for buildings and outbuildings. In addition, there are regulations that give neighbours a special legal position in the building permit procedure.
This allows neighbors to view the building templates that affect their concerns at the appropriate authority.
The responsibility lies with the municipality, the velvet community and the city.
No documents are required.
There are no charges.
No deadlines need to be observed.
Contradictions must be raised within one month of becoming known.
In the brochure "Tips for Neighbours", published by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Justice, you will find detailed information on regulations regarding the border distance to the neighbouring property.
