Hello everyone, we intend to build in Schleswig Holstein with a developer. The plot is available, financing is already underway, and the building permit has also been approved. So the construction could start. Unfortunately, the building permit noted that before any ground disturbance, an application must be submitted to the [Kampfmittelräumdienst]. We were unfortunately not aware that such an application was necessary beforehand, and the developer did not inform us about this either. So we only found out with the building permit. Now we have quickly submitted the application, but unfortunately, the [Kampfmittelräumdienst] responded that processing can take up to 26 weeks, as stated on their website. This would mean that the completion would be delayed by almost half a year just because of this. Has anyone had similar experiences and maybe ideas if private companies could be used here or something similar to meet the building permit requirement? I would be very grateful for any tips. Best regards

It was also stated similarly with us. But we do not build with GU. An email to the building authority of the municipality was answered on the same day, and positively at that. The entire (new) construction area was previously assessed as bomb-free by the municipality through an aerial image inspection. In my opinion, the sentence in the BP was either simply forgotten to be removed or only serves for legal protection.

Maybe it is the same for you? I never had to contact the bomb disposal service myself this way :)

What exactly does the approval say?

Good morning,

As a rule, it is noted that before starting construction, it must be checked whether there is a suspected explosive ordnance area. This is done in the first step as described above through aerial image evaluation. Only when it is then recognized that it is a so-called suspected area must the excavation be monitored, or the soil must be surveyed beforehand.

Hazards in the building ground are, by the way, the responsibility of the client. To what extent a developer has an obligation to inform before purchase, I cannot assess.
In addition to time, relatively high monitoring costs would be expected in such a case.

As a rule, areas in the "open field" are not suspicious.

In Lower Saxony, however, the current regulation is that no excavation may take place on suspected areas, and non-suspected areas must be monitored. Perhaps check such a regulation with you.

There is a private company for this, but they always act on behalf of the explosive ordnance clearance service and have their licenses and work similarly bureaucratic. We are currently working with the company Fa. Tauber. However, there is also, for example, the company Fa. Schollenberger.

Best regards
Jann

Hello everyone,
thank you very much for your support and the tips.

: Unfortunately, it is not a new development area. We have purchased a plot of land that the previous owner separated from his former property. So there are already houses built around it. The old houses are partly from the 60s, some are even over 100 years old and have already survived the First and Second World Wars. It just didn’t interest anyone before, so there are no aerial image analyses available for this area yet.

: It says "Before intervention in the building ground, an application is required at the bomb disposal service," which is what Paragraph 2 Section 3 of the Explosive Ordnance Regulation states.

@ Jann St: Exactly, in the first step it is only about the aerial image analysis. But at the moment the processing at the bomb disposal service takes up to 26 weeks. And I thought to shorten this time with a private company; if they work bureaucratically that would be okay, they just have to finish quickly :-)

Exactly. But this is not a developer here, rather a general contractor. GC for the house, client for the land. You provide your land for the construction. Everything related to the land falls under the construction-side responsibility.
Really annoying. But I think it won't take more than half a year.
