Cottages without
planning permission

The types of facilities that currently do not require a building permit, only the application, were specified in the c. According to the amendment to the regulations, which entered into force in June 2015, these buildings include, among others:

• Free-standing single-family residential buildings whose area of influence is entirely within the plot or plots on which they are designed;
• detached single-storey outbuildings, garages or sheds with a building area of up to 35 m2²and the total number of these facilities on the plot may not exceed two for every 500 m2² of the plot area;
• Free-standing single-storey individual recreation buildings, understood as buildings intended for periodic recreation, with a built-up area of up to 35 m², while the number of these objects on a plot may not exceed one for each 500 m² of plot area.

In a simplified way, we can erect bungalow 35 m² without permission, but it should be remembered that this is the built-up area, not the usable area. These requirements are met, among others, by modular houses offered by the company MARKAEKO, which work well as residential and recreational houses in both the summer and winter seasons. Also very important is the provision that the area of influence of the building must fit entirely within the plot or plots on which they are designed.

In practice, this means that when designing modular houses without a permit, regulations should be borne in mind, such as the distance of the septic tank from the neighboring property or emissions. On the other hand, less formalities are required for recreational houses - they can be built on the basis of a notification, if they are one-story, no more than 35 m² and are used only seasonally. Cottages without a building permit They must also comply with the LSDP, or local zoning plan. This is an act that applies regardless of whether the house is built by notification or by permit.
