Building permit for agricultural land: Legal advice


Questioner

My neighbor has had a section of the plot of land behind it, which has agricultural zoning, planted with trees and a water feature/pond for several years now. He has now built a shed/garage on it. Is this possible without an application?

Lawyer

Does the zoning plan include rules that allow the construction of the barn for the benefit of the home in the agricultural use designation? Then it is a yard, you can then build without a permit. However, in most zoning plans it is not permitted to build in the agricultural designation. Because the zoning plan then prohibits the development, there is no yard, and therefore you cannot build there without a permit. I'm afraid the latter is the case here.

Questioner

Good afternoon Jeroen, this location does not belong to the yard, it is a closed piece of land where sheep walk, the yard is big enough to put something like that. Do I have a chance to defend myself against this before recreational activities will take place soon, because that is what it is starting to look like.

Lawyer

Of course, you can because it is not allowed according to the zoning plan. If desired, I can assist you legally in this matter.
