How to build a gazebo in
accordance with construction law? What
formalities await us when we want to put a gazebo or a garden store on the
plot? These questions are asked
by every investor, wanting to create a quiet corner on the property. What is
worth knowing before making a gazebo?
Interpreting the
construction law of a gazebo, shed, or outbuilding, it can be referred to as a
building or a building. Buildings are permanently attached to the ground
foundation, while buildings rise without foundations and in the light of
regulations, they are treated as temporary buildings. So what will be the
construction of a gazebo or a storeroom? The
binding provisions raise certain doubts. Whether a permit is required for the
construction of a gazebo will depend on from
how large the facility is to be, what plot will be located on it, and also
whether there is a similar building on it.
Is the gazebo an element
of small architecture?
The construction law
says that the construction or construction of landscaping structures does not
require a building permit. Many of us include arbors and sheds for such items. Is
it right? According to the
construction law, small architecture objects should be understood as objects
with relatively small dimensions. These can be, for example, elements of
religious worship, such as chapels, figures, bells and other garden
architecture objects, as well as utility objects that serve daily recreation
and maintain order, such as sandpits, swings, ladders or garbage cans. The arbor
is difficult to consider as a large object, so it should not be treated as a
small architecture object. The construction law, unfortunately, does not
clearly specify the concept of a gazebo. However, it is safe to treat it as a
light structure, usually with openwork walls, no foundations and internal
installations.
Construction of a gazebo
and storeroom - with or without permission?
If a garden store or
gazebo is a building, i. e. it is not permanently connected to the ground by
the foundation, it does not require a building permit - all you need to do is
submit an intention to erect such a building in the poviat starosty. When
submitting, it is necessary to plan the plot with the location of the shed or
gazebo, as well as the arrangements and opinions, required by separate
regulations, eg for conservation protection. However, it must be remembered
that the building law says that a building permit is not necessary for a gazebo
with an area of up to 25 m² , but the total number of such
buildings on a plot can not exceed two per every 500 m² of plot area. Permission will be
necessary if the building's area exceeds 25
m² .
A building permit or
notification to the competent authority is not required, in the case of arbors
and farm buildings, on plots in family gardens, with a building area of up to 25 m² in cities and up to 35 m² outside the city limits. The height of
these buildings should not, however, exceed 5
m at steep roofs and 4 m at
flat roofs.
Before building a gazebo
on the plot, it is worth going to the proper office and clarify the issue of
permission with officials. Sometimes it turns out that various offices
interpret the regulations in a slightly different way. Regardless of whether
the construction of the gazebo will require notification or permission before
it is made, all formalities must be completed. In this way, we will avoid a
situation in which the construction of a gazebo will be considered as arbitrary
and it will have to be legalized, which entails considerable fees, or to be
undressed.
