ᐅ Filling a Sloped Plot to Create a Level Surface – Is a Building Permit Required?

Hello everyone,
I own a plot of land in Bavaria with an area of 600 m² (7,292 ft²). It is a south-facing slope that I would like to raise using the excavation material from the construction. The land drops a total of 170 cm (67 inches). Retaining walls would still need to be built.
Towards the street, the land is level and slopes further down towards the garden at the back.
Do I need a building permit / planning permission for this?
Regards,
Christian

It’s clear that he is legally on the safe side, but the neighborhood is also important.I was referring to your statement "I wouldn’t tolerate that." Let me put it plainly: It’s simply none of your business......
For a house, I wouldn’t use clay for compaction, but for a garden, I honestly don’t mind at all.
However, compacting between layers would still be possible.
They just wanted to make money by hauling away and bringing in replacement material.
And yes, we built up a corner with clay to about 1.5m (5 feet), it stayed there over the winter, and for the past 3 months topsoil has been spread over it, and now a nice lawn is growing there.
PS. I’m going to mow the lawn at 9:30 pm because I’m allowed to 😉

If you have a length of 30 meters (approximately 98 feet) and only the second half is affected, I would divide the rear section with the slope into three parts: for example, in the back area, raise it by about 50 cm (20 inches), which should be allowed, create a garden level, then towards the relatively flat area or the house, create two levels with appropriate steps.
I would strongly avoid a sloping garden because it gives an unpleasant feeling: it feels like you are rolling off your property. It is also very unsuitable for playing. Feng Shui does not approve of this at all.

The plot is level towards the street and slopes down more and more towards the garden at the back. So it steps down (where exactly)?

Do I need a building permit/planning permission for this? Definitely from the taste police. The earth would have been created flat as a disk if it were meant to be level.
What’s the motivation anyway? If it’s about avoiding a basement, my Google tip would be "Pyrrhic victory" ;-)
