Long driveway only with neighbor's permission?

Hello everyone,

we are currently planning the construction of a single-family house, which we would like to connect to the community road located approximately 35 meters away with a driveway about 2.5 meters wide.

This means that we want to create a driveway of this length between the public road and our house on our property.

Our house seller pointed out to us that driveways longer than 9 meters always require the neighbor’s consent.

I am skeptical of this statement, as I cannot imagine the purpose of such a regulation.

Is anyone in the forum familiar with this regulation and where it might be documented?

Thanks for your input.

Hello space78,

I don't know it like that either. Border construction with a garage is usually only permitted up to 9 m in length, but driveways? Maybe parcus knows more precisely.

Thanks 6Richtige for the hint. Maybe should also add that the access road would run in the "3-Meter-Grenzbereich".

Hello,

I would first have a look at the [Landesbauordnung].
However, I cannot imagine that it contains any regulation in this regard.

Then check the [Bebauungsplan], which may be online.

If no indication can still be found here, then contact the friendly ladies and gentlemen of the responsible [Bauamt].

Unless there is a registered [Baulast].
Only as what and why

Best regards
