Hello,
I have a question that has arisen in the course of the land division. We are building in a new development area, meaning that so far there are no houses here anywhere. The actual boundary lines have only now been established. There is a large linden tree on the neighboring property, which is now becoming problematic for us. It was previously said that the linden tree is further away from us – but this is obviously not the case now. Our house is supposed to be built with a 3m setback from the boundary line towards the linden tree. The building application has not yet been submitted.
Do we have any way to take action against this linden tree on the neighboring property? We see many problems: shading, dirt, and possibly risk to our house, which is a little over 8m high, in strong winds.
Or are we seeing this as much more problematic than it actually is?
Thank you very much for your advice!
