Good day dear forum,
I have a question regarding the rights of the neighbor. We want to build in an already existing area (Lower Saxony). We have purchased a former garden plot as rear development. The seller was already able to present a positive preliminary building inquiry for a single-family house at that time. There is no development plan.
The building application has been submitted since June. Of course, we have adhered to the applicable rules regarding setback areas etc. Since the access road is a private street, we have also acquired shares in it so that we are allowed to use it accordingly. At the end of last month, a letter from the building authority regarding "neighbor involvement" apparently reached some neighbors. They are supposed to submit written objections within 4 weeks or not respond and thus practically give their consent.
We have now heard from one neighbor who apparently has objections. Through other neighbors, we know that this very neighbor was apparently allowed to use our plot as a garden for free over the past few years and is now, to put it bluntly, "pissed off" that this is no longer possible. My question would now be whether this neighbor could actually take action against our construction by means of objections such as "construction noise" or "damage to the access roads during construction" or if we are worrying too much?
We have not yet received the building permit, but this neighbor involvement is apparently always the final step before the permit is granted in our town. Hope you can give us some input on this.
Best regards,
the builders
