Immission protection concerns self-service gas station - building permit?

It is only requesting a vacation substitution! Wait until the right contact person is available. Maybe they don’t want anything at all, and if they do want something, then please in written form. If you then have something, you can file an objection and argue with the current circumstances of the neighbors.

I once talked to the residents on the other side of the gas station who are exactly 10 meters closer to the gas station than we are ourselves. This house was built 2 years ago. Both the gas station in its current form and the workshop building already existed, and no protective measures were necessary. What the authority is now demanding is, to me, far-fetched.

Keyword: principle of discretion ;-)

Wait until the right contact person is here. Maybe he doesn't want anything after all

I would expect that too.

So now it is unfortunately no longer just a "vacation replacement" demanding this, but the department head agrees with this demand and will not approve the whole thing without this measure.

However, I was able to convince him that the noise is not really present, and so he agreed that we submit a supplementary drawing showing a dense fence or a wall drawn into that corner, and will then approve the construction project on the condition that it is built.

Fortunately, I was able to avoid an expert or the like, as in the end the gentleman also had to admit that the noise level coming from the gas station cannot be effectively measured due to the federal road.

So now the supplementary drawing must be submitted, and the property owner of the plot on which the gas station stands must also agree to the whole thing....

These building authorities are a dream....
