Setback for a poultry / animal house from the boundary
Netherlands
The applicable zone depends on the municipal environmental plan, provincial rules and water-board rules. Check the official Rules on the Map for this property before fixing the distance.
Distances and rules
A building for poultry or small animals is kept further from the boundary than an ordinary shed, for sanitary reasons — odour, runoff and noise should not disturb the neighbour. The exact setback depends on the country.
