We ensure that you enjoy planning security. We find out whether the required building and planning law for your building project refers to an unplanned area. In areas that are subject to a zoning plan, we will ascertain on your behalf whether, based on the zoning plan, the necessary building rights for your project can be obtained or whether and how a new zoning plan can be organised. If a zoning plan were to contain errors, we will show you ways to proceed. To prevent uncertainties, we assist you with the defence against objections and complaints filed by neighbours and other third parties. In addition, we notify you early on whether neighbours’ rights may be breached and give you tips and suggestions as to how you may respond.
If unexpected obstacles were to arise, we inform you of the appropriate modus operandi. We clarify on your behalf whether a postponement or a development freeze (Veränderungssperre) undermines your building project and how to respond. If cities/towns and local councils issue preservation statutes or town planning statutes, we find out whether there are potential exceptions and exemptions for your project or how to respond.
Based on our experience with numerous large building projects, we design and negotiate on your behalf, agreements under German public law. This ensures that, prior to activities that may give rise to disputes, suitable modi operandi can be implemented that have been amicably agreed via, for example, a mediation process.
We aim to give you planning security by pointing out the risks and working out procedures that facilitate your building project with as little effort as possible. If science-related issues such as noise, traffic, species protection, etc. need to be looked at, we suggest suitable surveyors, who form part of our network, and together with you we arrange for technically, legally, and tactically coordinated agreements that can be realised in practice.
Our litigators, who have a wealth of experience in complex extrajudicial and judicial disputes, assist you with the handling of cases of acute conflict and help you avoid conflicts prior to disputes arising.
