ᐅ What types of boundaries or fences are permitted? Is a bamboo hedge allowed?

Hi everyone!

Since we don’t want a fence and I have always wanted a bamboo hedge, I’m now in a bit of a tricky situation with my property.

The local authority requires us to implement one of the following three ecological measures:
A) Rainwater cistern
B) Solar system
C) Garden planting with native trees and shrubs

The development plan also states that we must plant two native fruit or deciduous trees.

Regarding boundaries, there is an additional rule: “Instead of fences, the planting of hedges up to a maximum height of 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) is allowed (lower reference point: road surface level of the public street traffic area/traffic area with special purpose designation at the street boundary line; upper reference point: top of the hedge), using native, site-appropriate deciduous woody plants.”

For the required measures, I would obviously choose option C), but there are no specified quantities, so for me, planting the two trees would already fulfill the requirement...

Is there any way to plant a bamboo hedge, for example on my property side, not directly at the boundary line?

Thanks in advance!

From how I understand it, everyone must plant these two deciduous trees. Everyone.

Furthermore, you must choose from a, b, or c.
If you choose c, then the majority of the planting should certainly be native.

I can’t read the quoted part well — there are too many abbreviations.
But I believe the overall appearance should fit with the street. I can hardly imagine someone having to plant a hedge right on the property boundary, since setback rules have to be considered there.

Have you asked the building authority / planning office?

I would place the bamboo near the terrace.

The requirement regarding the trees is a condition for the allocation of the plot (local resident model). If this is not followed, additional payment for the plot must be made.

The quoted text is stated exactly like this in the development plan, and I cannot read it either!

This is a completely new residential area; at the moment, the overall appearance is basically a fence of excavators!

The intention is to clarify how the 2m (6.5 feet) height limit for the hedge is determined.

I understand that bamboo is not allowed as a hedge on or along the boundary (fence line). If a hedge is planted, it should be native.

Yes, that is likely correct.
Since the height can sometimes be disregarded here (as only the maximum matters and they rarely measure it), a hedge made of native shrubs is permitted. It’s a very simple rule [emoji2]
That means bamboo is excluded.
As I said before: I would enclose the terrace with it, nicely opaque in two rows, that way it will be enjoyable.

All right, thank you! Then I will do it that way!

But I will plant the hedge on my property, and if the neighbor(s) want anything for the official boundary, they can take care of that!
