For the access, the hedge must be removed, any problems?

Hello everyone,

we have bought a plot of land in Saxony without utility connections and without access, with a size of just under 1000m2. Construction is to start in August. Now I wanted to remove 8m of hedges for the access/driveway next weekend (the plot borders the street on one side, but this side is bordered by a hornbeam hedge), there are a total of 23m of hedges there.

An acquaintance told me that I could get into trouble because it is currently the closed season for hedges. In my opinion, however, the hornbeam is not a hedge or a shrub, but a tree.

Am I allowed to clear the 8m for the driveway? Otherwise, I cannot get onto the plot and the house cannot be built :-( in October that will be too late... :-(

Thank you very much

Erik

Submit an application to the municipality.
Why do you need an 8m wide access road?

At the municipality or the higher-level district environmental office?
The hedge is supposed to be removed over 8m, the driveway will be 6m wide. But since the crane drives in and out there, I’m making it 2m wider at the beginning before it unnecessarily damages the hedge.
