Hello, we live in beautiful Saxony. Here, if you place a carport on the property boundary, you don’t need a building permit / planning permission as long as you follow a few general rules.
Among other things, I am restricted to a height of 3 meters (10 feet). Now my question is: where is this height measured from? Our property is raised by about 40 centimeters (16 inches) compared to the neighbor’s. Since I need a clear driveway height of 2.40 meters (7 feet 10 inches), plus about 30 centimeters (12 inches) for the roof structure, I end up at 2.70 meters (8 feet 10 inches). So far, so good. But if the neighbor measures with their tape measure, they would get 3.10 meters (10 feet 2 inches), which is too high. How is this handled? After all, the carport is on my property, so shouldn’t only the height on my side be decisive? I just don’t want to make a mistake and have to shorten the carport’s height in the worst case.
Thanks in advance!
