The shed is also less than 20cm from our garage. As a result, we can no longer do maintenance work on our garage that is attached to the house. Our question is whether the neighbor is allowed to build this without having to keep a meter's distance as is required for permit-required construction in our municipality?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nI do not rule out that the meter distance (from the property line or your garage?) also applies to permit-free constructions for your municipality, other than property boundaries. Ask your municipality about this. Incidentally, there is no general legal obligation that prescribes that there must always be a meter distance between constructions. You can ask the municipality to inspect the situation on site, also with a view to the question of whether there is a permit-free construction.\n\n You can read here whether the shed may be built without a permit:\n\n https:\/\/www.rijksoverheid.nl\/onderwerpen\/bouwREGgeving\/checken-of-autoriteit-persoonsgegevens-is-voor-ver-bouwen\/beleidvrij-bouwen-en-verbouwen\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nMost municipal building regulations state that there may not be a space of less than 1 meter between buildings. This is a standard that does not directly apply to building without a permit, but the standard does have a reason: maintenance must remain possible. By blocking maintenance, the neighbor is acting unlawfully. You can probably forbid him to do so.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n I agree with my fellow lawyers on this.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55004944597341,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-59399-onze-buurman-bouwt-een-schuur-die-naar-zijn-zeggen-vegunningsvrij-is-op-de-erfgrens-zonder-onze-toe","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
