A larger greenhouse often needs to be approved before construction
Like right now? For my greenhouse a building permit?
Depending on the state, a building permit may also be required for the new greenhouse. Surface area, height and type of planned use are important factors for the official certification. Especially important: A building permit must always be made before the groundbreaking ceremony.
And on my own land? In any case, you should at least have heard something about border distances, statics calculations, local statutes, development plans, state building regulations and neighborhood law, if it is intended in the future to grow your own plants under protective glass. Or is it about a conservatory that could even be used for residential purposes? In the construction of a landing greenhouse to an existing residential building this suspicion could be quite obvious?
Ask the authorities before the groundbreaking ceremony
Even conservatories are under certain conditions as self-contained structures evaluated for their Establishment of an official permit required can be. The special rules for the procedure before the start of construction can be found in the applicable state building regulations, which are specified in most cases by the specific structural provisions of the individual municipalities. For larger buildings with a correspondingly large roof area, you will hardly be able to speak to the responsible building authority in person. Also landscape architects and GaLa construction companies from the region usually give information here (and free of charge).
Because it's safer
Even if the competent authority for the new greenhouse does not need to issue a building permit, you must always have such information in writing from the person in charge at the office. Once the official confirmation has been granted, although it is no longer valid if the greenhouse For example, retrofitted with a heating or water installation afterwards shall be. One of the most common issues is, for example, that building owners, out of ignorance, the statutory provisions of the currently valid Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) do not comply.
As important as the greenhouse building permit
Even if all legal modalities and the prescribed minimum distance to the property boundary are met, enter clarifying conversation with the adjacent neighborhood always meaning, with an (officially approved) border building even more. Neighbors can be annoyed about anything not previously discussed with them, for example, when they are blinded by the glass gable of the new greenhouse or the view from their property is blocked.
Tips
To prevent later misunderstandings and possible disputes: Take the best when drawing a visit to the building office a true-to-scale drawing to your personal development plan, even if the greenhouse does not require a building permit. And: Let the decision be confirmed in writing.
