Henrik081712327 Jul 2017 22:06Hello!
We have a plot of land where the neighbors on both sides have already completed their houses, including fences and so on. Since our plot slopes downward and the house will be built slightly elevated, the terrace will be significantly higher than the existing ground level. From a design perspective, it would be best to raise the area overall and support it with L-shaped retaining walls.
Is it allowed to place these retaining walls directly next to the neighbor’s fence on our property, or what regulations apply here? We are located in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), and I understand that rules can vary from one federal state to another.
One of the neighbors might be difficult, so before discussing our plans with them, I would like to know what is permitted.
For example, would we have to pay for the neighbor’s fence to be altered or replaced, or can we simply build the retaining walls as described right up to the fence?
Thanks in advance!

This topic, along with the related advice, was already discussed about six months ago.
From what height difference are L-shaped retaining walls / barriers required?

Henrik081712327 Jul 2017 22:45Unfortunately, no solution was found. So, I’m rephrasing it here. I want to know what is legally allowed, as stated here. Are L-shaped retaining blocks allowed to be placed directly next to the fence, etc.? This must be defined somewhere. At least it is not specified in our development plan / zoning regulations.
Also, what is possible if this is not done? How much height difference can be gained on a given area through a slope without needing any retaining structures? I’m missing such information, and it was also not provided in the other post.

That’s incorrect. He designs the house; he doesn’t build it. He is familiar with boundary structures and also with the building code, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to plan. . .
