Getting your neighbor's consent is an important part of the process when you plan to carry out certain types of building projects or alterations to your property. It can be anything from building a new building, changing an existing structure, or carrying out major renovations that may affect your neighbors. Here's information on when you need neighbor consent, why it's important, and how you can get it.
When is neighbor consent needed?
Neighbor consent may be needed in the following situations:
Construction of new buildings or extensions closer than 4.5 m from the plot boundary
Installation of high fences or walls

Felling trees or major gardening work that may affect the neighbour's plot
Installation of noisy equipment such as heat pumps or ventilation systems
Why is neighborhood consent important?
Getting your neighbors' consent ensures that your projects won't cause conflicts or problems in the future. It promotes good neighborliness and may also be a requirement according to building permit rules and municipal regulations. Having written consent can protect you legally should any disputes arise.
