Oh, I am very much aware of my rights. However, I can also weigh whether insisting on rights is helpful to me or not. If I benefit from it, I can certainly put my rights aside for the purpose. Insisting just on principle, in my opinion, simply doesn’t make sense. If you want to turn that into a general waiver of one’s rights, good luck with that. And yes, I have nothing to hide.
However, I would now expect you to comply with all laws and obligations!? That means exactly adhering to speed limits, never accelerating at yellow lights to still get through the traffic light, and so on. Because whoever insists on rights on principle should be honest enough to also adhere to all obligations.

However, there will probably be nothing left to review, because I and many others here assume that the decision will be made based on the files. And then you will probably have to demolish the enclosure without inspection.

I'm out of here then, incorrigible people who only want approval and dismiss other opinions should be left to themselves.

Hello RobsonMKK

As soon as the building authority writes to me stating the basis on which they will enter my property against my will, I can examine whether this forced right of access is legal or not. I am waiting for that.
It is sad that a felt 80% of those present here would refrain from doing so to avoid upsetting the building authority. Shouldn't it be the case that the building authority first reviews and communicates why and under what legal conditions they want to carry out a coercive measure? They have a duty to provide information. Then I can examine it thoroughly. This is the rule of law act. And many more should pay attention to this. This submitting to authority brings us little good; yes, it will continue to restrict our freedoms. This is not good. And meekness only further supports this.

No one is talking about ducking, but about seeking a meaningful dialogue. I’m just imagining you standing at your border armed to the teeth...

One more thing: They are not forcing anything at the moment! You are interpreting it that way! They have merely scheduled an appointment to inspect the construction site in order to coordinate the further procedure, possibly WITH YOU. Currently, they are not enforcing the right of access either, only you see it that way. You are the one who is turning the whole matter into a legal state act, not the building authority! You want to counter immediately with a lawyer etc., they just want to check/look. And here no one is giving up anything! Everyone here would only do their best to enforce their will (here your extension of the deadline), denying access with a lawyer-checked guarantee is definitely not part of that. Do you even consider that you have the burden of proof? You have to justify why you were not finished and why you did not meet the deadline. If you appear before them the way you present it here, they will say, well, it can be done differently. Then comes the order for demolition and that’s it for the building authority. If the building authority had simply ordered you to demolish without inspection or consultation, you would be whining here about the evil building authority. Then it would say here: If only they had contacted me beforehand, I could have explained everything to them. Evil building authority. As I said, I also don’t believe that you comply with ALL the laws that apply to YOU!

Hello

how nicely you here describe your fear of restrictive treatment by authorities. Of course, no one is afraid, but almost everyone will comply with the building authority, even if there is no legal basis to be seen. It's just reasonable.
People, I have laid out the situation in the initial thread and asked if someone could give me a tip on how to delay the removal of the enclosure by another 4 months. Well, there were 1 or 2 good pieces of advice among them. The rest: well, see above.
