Shock for Heudorfer: Workshop tight due to approval problem!

Heudorf bei Scheer, Deutschland - In Heudorf near Scheer, the local small-scale Thorsten Werner recently had to close his newly opened car workshop. A few months ago, he had set up his workshop in a former agricultural estate and, after his regular working days, worked on cars until late at night. But now everything is different, because the district office suddenly prohibited him from operating. This decision came without warning, which caused confusion and lack of understanding. According to [schwaebische.de] (https://www.schwaebische.de/regional/sigmaringen/scheer/- operator-landratsamt-schliesst-einfachs-werkstatt-3711003), the building is approved as a barn, and to be used as a car workshop, Werner needed a formal usage change.

The district office justified the closure, among other things, with the non -compliance of fire protection regulations and the associated acute risk. A hay and straw warehouse is located in the neighborhood, which also makes permission for a car workshop more difficult. Managing Director Werner was stunned in view of the situation: he had made significant investments, including a lifting platform and a force to offer its customers the best possible service.

The long way to approved

The approval for a change in use is not fun and can vary depending on the state and the type of change, as juraforum.de. A change in use that includes the change of the approved use of a property usually requires approval by the responsible authorities. These regulations are intended to ensure that all legal and safety requirements are observed. In Werner's case, it will now be exciting whether he can successfully submit the required building application - a process that can take a few weeks up to one year.

Lothar Fischer, the mayor of Heudorf, has already offered his support for Werner, and an employee of the main office has taken steps to get the process rolling. But the outcome remains uncertain. Since the beginning of the month, Werner can no longer object to the decision; The only possibility that remains him is the contestation by a lawsuit before the administrative court.

The neighborhood interests

An example of the complicated area of ​​tension between the commercial enterprise and neighborhood interests show cases from the region in which car workshops were demonstrably not perceived. A similar situation as described at [lexika.de] (https://www.lexika.de/baurecht/genhehmige-der- user-fuer-kfz-werkstaet-als-nicht-stoerender-werbbäut/) shows that car workshops without any noise reduction often have difficulty securing their operational ability. There, for example, a former bus hall was granted the approval for conversion to a car workshop after the neighbors had to fear no considerable disturbances. The operating times were also limited so as not to burden the residents.

In Werner's case, the responsible bodies must now weigh whether his project actually violates the neighboring law. The conclusion remains that the currently disused company not only represents a personal burden for Werner, but also considerably concerns the local labor market and customers. Many hope that a solution will soon be found that meets both the legal requirements and the needs of the entrepreneurial offer.
