Rejection of application for building plot

Thank you very much for your numerous responses.

Yesterday I contacted the mayor again and asked for a written confirmation of the rejection including the reasons, and received the response that there are no concrete allocation guidelines for the awarding of building plots and that each council member decides on each application based on their own assessment. Therefore, he is not able to convey to me the personal reasons of each council member.

Overall, the other nearby municipalities decide with the help of a points system. At least that is transparent. We have now concluded with this municipality and do not want to live there anymore, but purely on a legal level there is already the desire to challenge this decision. I have also heard that a municipality may not reject an application if there are no other applicants and no allocation guidelines exist, because the municipality must not simply leave the money earned from the sale unused.

Best regards

I can well imagine that a village does not simply want to become a dormitory town for the next big city. In that case, applicants who have no previous connection to the place will also be rejected, even if the property is not sold at first. Some municipalities do have a well-filled treasury, so the argument of leaving money on the table does not count.

However, we do not live in a big city and unfortunately our current municipality no longer has space for new building land.

Hi,
in the community you probably wouldn’t be happy anyway. You’d always be an outsider........ The community representatives will probably wait until someone actually makes a "small" donation or maybe friends, acquaintances, and relatives who are looking for a plot of land.
I can get really annoyed about such things because I know exactly how it works. I often had to attend such meetings for work. Man, some of the things that happen there........
Regards
P.S. I don’t mean to say that it’s like this everywhere. Just so no one misunderstands.

Probably the community representatives are waiting until someone actually gives a "small" donation or maybe also for friends, acquaintances, and relatives who are looking for a property.

I wouldn't be surprised. An acquaintance also had to pay a bribe to be allowed to acquire a property. Corruption occurs here much more often than most people believe. Even if it is only indirect corruption...
