Hello everyone!
We have purchased a triangular plot of land. As if that weren’t complicated enough, there is also a large oak tree that must be considered during the planning. In our initial considerations, it quickly became clear that the floor plan will have an L-shape.
Does anyone here have experience with this type of plot and a correspondingly shaped floor plan? What additional information is needed to get meaningful advice?
Best regards

At the moment, we’re focusing on getting closer than the 1.20 m (4 feet) to the tree that was approved in the preliminary building permit. I had mistakenly assumed it was 1.50 m (5 feet) all along, sorry.… which was actually advised to you from the start in this thread, since otherwise construction would be difficult or even impossible.
If the local authorities are reasonable, you should be able to negotiate some minor encroachment. Important: If there is an on-site inspection, make sure to provide plenty of warm coffee and cake!

If the officials at the local authority are reasonable, it should somehow be possible to negotiate a unilateral cut. Important: If there is a site inspection, make sure to provide enough warm coffee and cake!No amount of coffee and cake in the world will help, nor a site inspection: they remain firm on the issue.
Let’s not be so negative; these are people too, and a pragmatic solution was found at the neighboring factory campus as well.

Larger companies have different options. The official said in this context that there are people who would just cut down our tree for a payment of 50,000 euros, but this would not be proportional to the increase in the property’s value.
Of course, we could refer to the 113 trees that need to be removed there. But that would only work in court, not during the permit / planning permission process.

I think I would sue.Basically, I would do the same. However, I am already behind schedule with the house construction. I would rather not put myself through those additional years, costs, and stress.
