In 2020, real estate entrepreneur Markus Oswald believed that he could quickly start building a senior citizens' residential complex on the Edelweiß property.
But over a year later he is still waiting for building permission from the district administration.
Bad Wiessee
- The last hurdle seemed to have been cleared in June 2020.
The building committee of the Wiesse municipal council approved the building application for a major project that had been hotly debated in advance.
But now an urban development contract had been signed and the planning was tied down.
The company Oswa from Ingersheim in Baden-Württemberg wants to erect three buildings on the property of the former Hotel Edelweiß on Münchner Straße. In the main building in the through-road there are 34 apartments for assisted living, doctors' rooms, common rooms and a public café. In the two smaller, equally large buildings there is space for conventional condominiums and rental apartments, a total of 17 units. After the resolution had been passed, Oswald hoped for quick approval from the district administration. He wanted to start building that same year.
16 months later, Oswald is still waiting for the approval authority. Impatient, because while time is running out unused, prices in the construction sector are skyrocketing to unprecedented heights. “It's a catastrophe,” sighs the entrepreneur. The delay is also a cause for concern in the Wiesse construction department. In view of the many construction projects in the pipeline, it would be good if this major project in the heart of the village was already completed, explains building authority manager Anton Bammer. "It's about coordination, that's important because of the traffic." Bammer believes that the approval process has been dragging on for a long time.
But where is it? Upon request, the Miesbach District Office announced that the building application received on June 19, 2020 had been checked immediately. A month later, the authority requested missing documents in writing. "The client took more than ten months to do this," says the press office. The open space plan is currently in coordination with the nature conservation authority. Since there were deviations from the local design statute, the district office has not yet received any approvable input planning: "That is why we cannot give a reliable prognosis for the further course of the approval process."
A representation that Joachim Strähle from the commissioned planning office very clearly contradicts. His office always reacted promptly to all requirements and quickly modified the plans, he assures us. The cooperation with the Wiesse building authority and the district administration also worked well. According to his description, the problem was the involvement of the specialist authorities as required by the procedure. To hear the nature conservation department was simply neglected at first, reports Strähle. "We were told internally that this failure was probably due to the change of office and the internal processes." They let him knowthat the offices are understaffed due to Corona and other influences and processing cannot be carried out quickly. Strähle has enclosed extensive documents with his written statement that prove his efforts.
The stumbling blocks that stood in the way of a permit are all small things, according to Bammer, head of the building department.
There is no question that the planning fits in principle.
Currently it is about gabion walls that are not allowed and that a planting with native trees is desired.
The cover letter reached him on October 27th, reports Strähle.
Of course, his office will comply.
Client Oswald hopes to get started in spring 2022.
He has calculated two years for the construction time.
Oswald knows that the difficult subsoil requires complex measures that take time: "We have that on our radar, otherwise we wouldn't be doing a good job."
Oswald wants to get the Diakonieverein Tegernseer Tal on board for assisted living.
“The talks are ongoing,” he says.
This is confirmed by Monika Klöcker, managing director of the Diakonieverein.
In principle, cooperation is easy to imagine, said Klöcker.
How a cooperation could look like is still the subject of negotiations.
