Outbuilding setback

Distance to tents / timber buildings At least 10 m (large grills); 5 m for small grills Local rules

The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
