Last Thursday, the Nantes administrative court had to examine an unusual request from a resident of Angers (Maine-et-Loire). Indeed, the latter decided to cancel his neighbors' building permit for a rather astonishing reason: the man claimed that he would no longer be able to use this land to turn around his vehicles, reports the site Actu.fr.
The building permit request was accepted in February 2021 by Christophe Béchu, the mayor of Angers. However, this decision is not to the taste of the immediate neighbor. This one, manager of a moving company, was used to maneuvering his vehicles on the land of his future neighbors. He now has to go out in reverse.
The public rapporteur requests the rejection of the request
He has the legal right to oppose this construction. However, nothing works in his favor. His arguments, such as the risk to public safety or the obligation to uproot trees, do not hold up. The court also reminded the applicant that neighbors could “set up on the dividing line” of his land.
Faced with all these elements, the public rapporteur advised the court to reject the request. The judges give themselves a few weeks to decide. The decision should be made before the end of the year.
