Hello everyone,
I could use some advice or an assessment on the following matter, or simply just a statement on what you would do.
The gardener is really getting started, and it is planned to erect the above-mentioned privacy screen around the garden soon.
Through some topics here in the forum, I have researched whether there could be any problems with this.
The starting point is the development plan, which basically allows fences up to 1.80m. However, there is also a local ordinance to preserve the village appearance, which only allows hedges. So far, so good.
An inquiry by our architect at the building authority resulted in the statement that the ordinance does not apply in our case because our property is not located on the street but in the second row behind a 30m-long access road and thus would not affect the village appearance. In case of doubt, however, there could be neighbors who might object.
Now the situation is that, apart from a kindergarten on the border, there are no neighbors yet, or although there are property owners, they have not started building yet. It is also currently not foreseeable when this will happen. Furthermore, we do not know them.
According to the building authority and architect, there are several options now:
1. Find out who the owners of the other properties are and inform them about the fence.
2. Take the risk.
3. Plant a hedge.
Option 1 naturally includes the possibility that at least one of the future neighbors might object.
Option 2 means that after we are finished, if others start building later and see the fence, one of the neighbors might object.
Option 3 is something we really do not want.
Assuming we find out who the future neighbors are, inform them, and one says "No." What legal consequences would that have?
Assuming we take the risk and later someone says "I don’t want that thing," what legal consequences would that have in turn?
We are now somewhat at a loss as to what to do. Does anyone here have experience or even knowledge about this?
