Our neighbor wants to build a new garage with a walkable roof, some type of terrace. The plan as I unserstand is to go with grass instead of plates, an extension of their garden. This garage would come very close to our own garden, about 1.5m, with stairs next to it. From there, they can easily see into our garden and even parts of our living room since it’s slightly elevated. Because it is so close, they need our approval for the Näherbaurecht. We are not really comfortable with this, we belueve the project will devalue our own house and land. What are our options here? If we decline the Näherbaurecht we will spoil the relationship - and they can just make the garage a little smaller to stick to the 2.5m minimal distance. Is there some sort of agency, lawyer or similar we could consult on the impact this would have on our property value and options moving forward? submitted by /u/SomeoneRandom432
