Hello,

a new residential development is being built in our village and will be completed by the end of 2021. However, the plots are already available for purchase.
For some plots, it is mandatory to buy an additional forest buffer zone area – what exactly does this mean? Am I allowed to cut down the trees on this “additional” plot that must be purchased and just keep it as an open meadow? I assume you are not allowed to build anything on it, right?

What is the exact purpose of such a buffer zone, besides possibly protecting against trees falling from the adjacent forest behind?

If the buffer zone directly borders the building plot that I own, do I still have to maintain a 3m (10 feet) distance when developing my building land?

Regards,
Michael

These areas are provided “for free” so that the municipality does not have to take care of their maintenance.
