Hello everyone.
The bad luck with our house project just doesn’t stop.
Today, after 3 months, we finally received the notice for a hearing from the building authority.
The house exceeds the rear building line by nearly 2 meters (6.5 feet).
Unfortunately, the woman at the office won’t be back until Thursday.
What options do we have now?
Is it possible to simply move the house forward, or does everything need to be reapplied for?
We are getting married on Thursday, and this really hits us hard.
Best regards

We initially agreed on 8 to 10 meters (26 to 33 feet) during the discussion. Then she changed it to 13 meters (43 feet).
So that is her mistake. Especially since she didn’t obtain any information from the building authority regarding the building line requirements.
There have been problems with her from the start, and this is the last straw.
If we really have to submit a new application and then cannot receive the homebuyer grant, it will be a disaster. As far as I have just read, the homebuyer grant has been extended until March 31, 2021.

Quickly prepare a new site plan and submit it (again). There is still some time until March. Thanks. That’s encouraging.
Where did you get this information from?

As clients, you sign off on the building agreement.
You underestimate the complex balance of rights and obligations you face as clients. If 8-10 m (26-33 feet) was agreed upon, and you sign for 13 m (43 feet), then it is certainly one thing: not solely the planner’s fault. I have no problem with 13 m (43 feet) since we have enough space at the back. I do expect her to know what she’s doing and trust that it’s okay for her to plan 13 m (43 feet). And that is exactly not the case. She did not check in advance, which is her responsibility.

13 meters (43 feet) setback from the street? — I can’t find any house in your thread history (?)Because there isn’t one.
The 13 meters (43 feet) are from the property boundary. And yes, that’s where the street is located.
