Dear forum,

now I have my first question: on a plot of land for a new building there is a very large beech tree. Height approx. 30m (see photos). The ridge of the visible house roof is at about 7m height.

A single-storey existing building currently extends very close to this tree (2 trunks). It will be demolished. The new building is planned with two full floors + attic with gable roof and waterproof concrete basement.

Who has experience with large trees? How much distance should the new house ideally keep from the tree to avoid damage to the house? Who has experience with such a situation and would like to share their knowledge? Are there general legal guidelines regarding the distance between the tree crown and the house? A new development plan is currently being prepared. Federal state = Bavaria.

The tree is located exactly to the south of the planned house.

And haven't you noticed yet that there is a relevant thread on this topic with over 500 posts (and just recently revived)? https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/dreieckiges-Grundstück-samt-eiche-grundriss-mit-l-form.29277/

thanks , I saw the interesting thread. I took away a 1.5m distance from the tree crown, although in the end it was apparently slightly less in the building permit.

I would appreciate further experiences from builders who have built near a large tree and possibly have insights, also on the topic of roots and basement walls.

The tree would provide great summer heat protection, and it is beautiful besides. Regular tree maintenance costs and more frequent cleaning of the gutters will certainly arise.

I would definitely consider leaving it standing. Well, there is still a bit more being discussed. Not least, you should take away from this that one can transition from casual discussion to fact-oriented consultation by means of a cadastral map excerpt with location data of the tree on the property. So: a plan sometimes says more than a few pictures. Oh, we have already discussed several treed properties - but even I don't have them all present or currently recall any keywords by which I could find them again.

But none that is so close and present that it will almost dominate the entire house.
