Everyone also has a garden except our neighbours because they live in a house above an underpass that leads to the square behind it. Our neighbours now want to extend their balcony. This is their primary outdoor space. They base this on the fact that other neighbours have also done this (without a permit application and with the tolerance of themselves and the other neighbours). However, the extension that our neighbours are planning to do will then become their primary outdoor space. This borders our bedroom balcony and our extension\/yard boundary. We fear for our privacy and peace. Is this allowed? And are we within our rights to stop this renovation?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n If the extension has a view of your bedroom, this may not be within two meters measured from the boundary line. A permit can be issued; your neighbors must discuss the private law aspects with you themselves, the municipality does not assess this.\n\n  \u003ch4\u003eQuestioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Do I understand correctly that it is not allowed within 2 meters of the boundary line but that the municipality can issue a permit? So that the municipality issues a permit where this is in conflict with the neighbor law? What should you do as neighbors? Object to the municipality?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n No, in principle not: your neighbours must consult with you and you must state in writing that your rights as a neighbour are being violated and that you will request an injunction from the court (civil). Indeed, the municipality has no say in this.\n\n On special grounds, yes, read more here: https:\/\/www.omgevingsweb.nl\/vragen\/wat-wordt-bedoeld-met-een-gebonden-beschik-en-evident-privaatrechtelijke-belemmeringen\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55003980792157,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-68009-wij-wonen-in-een-rij-huizen-waarbij-iedereen-een-balkon-heeft-op-de-eerste-verdieping-iedereen-heef","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
