Hello,
I have a somewhat tricky issue, maybe you can calm me down a bit.
Background:
- Saxony
- Development plan for the property from the municipality (with local building authority)
- House building notification, construction project still ongoing
Unfortunately, the garage could not be integrated into the first building notification because the development plan was deficient regarding the location (not feasible as is) and the construction company acted stupidly with the implementation.
I now want to build a garage in the only remaining building plot. In consultation with the district building authority, this would also be possible within the existing project as long as the dimensions remain "exempt from approval," as an addendum to the existing building notification, which still means filling out all the paperwork.
So far so good-bad. Back then my planner already said that I should submit the building notification to the responsible municipal building authority. I am glad that I did not do this but submitted it straight to the district building authority. There I received a regular confirmation of receipt, a reprimand about why I did not submit it to the municipal building authority, as well as a request for 1-2 additional things. Then they got some kind of approval from the municipality and after 4 weeks the matter was settled.
Now with the garage, the same drama again. I am supposed to submit it to the responsible municipal building authority. Only problems with the contacts. They do not understand what a building notification is and always want to check and do things internally and treat it like a building application :) My hint that hundreds of hours were already spent in municipal council meetings to establish a development plan so that people can make building notifications and everything goes faster fell on deaf ears... Exactly 3 weeks later I received a confirmation of receipt with the note that the responsible employee is on vacation for 3 weeks and I should be patient.
LOL
According to building regulations, there are deadlines. They say that 5 days after receipt, I have to be informed of completeness and the authorities have another 3 weeks to request additional information or issue decisions. If these deadlines pass, the project is considered approved.
It is not my failure if the village authority does not know the difference between a building application and a building notification. Those laws were made so that expedited building is possible if one complies with what is stated in the development plan (which I do).
Therefore, my countdown is over and I will soon submit the construction start notification for the garage. But I already know what will happen... a big outcry.
What is the expert opinion on the topic?
Thanks
