I have noticed near my crib that the long metal poles with the red/pink stickers showing the height of a new build have recently been erected.

Luckily it will not block my view of the lake, but my neighbour will 100% lose out.

I was wondering if these poles are purely a pre-emptive move so that residents in the area can clearly see how tall the new build will be so that they can complain to the gemeinde or if planning permission has already been granted and its for the builders??

This, I believe.

The former. We've got some near us that have been up for two years because neighbours have said the new buildings are going to be too high and it's in dispute.

2 years......crazy.

I am going to ask my neighbour tomorrow if he wants me to complain as well. There are not alot of houses around us, so i think in total probably only 5 people will get the 'do you want to complain letter'.

Should keep him sweet for a while

Hello,

Concerning a future new building, if it does stick to the local rules and regulations you can't do anything...... you can complain but the Commune/Gemeinde will cancel your oppositions as it has no value...

Hope you'll save the view ;-)

What you say doesn't make sense.

If complaining was always turned down, why bother with the poles at all?

It's not up to the neighbours to confirm whether something conforms to the rules and regulations - that's the job of the Gemeinde planning office and they don't need poles as they'll have accurate plans.

Information. A lawyer working for you might be able to find a loophole since even planning officers are not infallible. However the previous poster is correct - if all the regulations are met, you're stuffed. Losing your view or loss of value your house as a result are not grounds for opposition, sadly
