When a residential property becomes a holiday home, it is lucrative for the landlord - but bad for the housing market.
The community of Allershausen sees it that way too.
Allershausen
- It is big, the housing shortage in the Freising district. And precisely for this reason, Allershausen's municipal councils rejected an application to convert a semi-detached house into a holiday home in April. The aim was to ensure that the building would continue to be available for permanent residential use, to exclude the possibility of "undesirable urban development conditions" occurring here and the house being empty for a long time if it is not occupied by holiday guests.
In addition, with their clear no in April, the municipal councils wanted to prevent creating a reference case.
The district office then urged the local council to reconsider the decision.
Because the development plan Kohlstattfeld II, in the scope of which the semi-detached house is located, dates from 1982 and defines a general residential area as the type of structural use.
Uses were not excluded at the time.
“The character of the general residential area allows businesses in the accommodation trade to be exceptional.” In other words: Under the given circumstances, the application for a change of use could be approved.
Allershausen creates new conditions - and puts a stop to the application
Since the local councils take the housing shortage very seriously and reacted to it by designating a new building area, including building terraced houses on discounted building plots, they did not just want to accept this fact. In three steps the apartment has now been put in place.
First of all, it was decided to change the development plan Kohlstattfeld II. In the future, accommodation businesses and petrol stations - both of which are currently still permitted in exceptional cases - are to be excluded. Step number two was the imposition of a change lock. Because until the new development plan comes into force, the stipulations of the old continue to apply. In order to rule out that facts are created here that can no longer be reversed afterwards - i.e. the district office approves the holiday home - the second step was necessary.
The final and third point was not to comply with the district office's request to agree to the application.
"The municipal council is sticking to its resolution, the agreement will not be reached" - all councilors raised their hands, which should officially burial the applicant's holiday home plans.
