Standards for the distance between buildings. Standards for the construction of a private house from neighbors. For fire safety

It's nice to feel like the owner of the site with the ability to build family-friendly housing and outbuildings. To avoid in further problems, it is necessary to maintain the distance from the house to the barn, fence and other buildings according to the norms and law. All dimensions are laid down in SNiP and requirements against fire safety. In case of violation of the norms specified in the law, the neighbors or the board of the company may demand through the court the demolition of the outbuilding.

outbuilding on suburban area

Sanitary construction standards

The development of the site must be carried out strictly in accordance with the norms prescribed in the regulatory documents. The distance from the barn to the house is prescribed in SNiP 30-02-97 for building within the city and plots for individual housing construction.

SNiP 2.07.01-89 and SP 42.13330.2011 regulate the distances between constructed facilities on the lands of non-profit cooperatives and settlements. fire requirements federal law No. 123-FZ apply to all categories of construction.

Sanitary standards

Sanitary and fire safety standards are the basis for drawing up the charter of a company for the lease of non-commercial land. Deviations from the requirements are possible only in cooperatives with small plots. The articles of association of a company may include:

  • norms for the size of a country house;
  • location of buildings on the site;
  • the presence of a barn with an indication of its maximum dimensions;
  • binding of all buildings on the plan;
  • types of household blocks that are allowed to have in this cooperative.

Location of buildings on the plan

With a small width of the site, it is possible to block neighboring houses and sheds - the construction of two identical buildings adjacent to each other along the dividing line. For the placement of buildings on the land of non-profit cooperatives, the norms of SNiP 30-02-97 as amended in 2018 and SP 53.13330.2011 are mainly advisory in nature.

In the event of a territorial dispute or violation of building rules, the issue is resolved by the community board or general meeting all members. If it is decided that the outbuilding should be demolished, the chairman applies to the court, attaching to the application a copy of the minutes with the decision of the board on this dispute.

Distances according to SNiP

At what distance from the house you can build a barn, depends on its purpose and the degree of fire hazard. The distance can be 6–12 m to a fire-resistant neighboring house.

Sanitary and fire safety regulations prohibit the construction of outbuildings in front of the house from the side of the road.

Table of normative documentation depending on the type of land ownership.

Outbuilding

A building for storing gardening tools and other household items may be located at a distance of 4 m from your own residential building and at least 6 m from your neighbor's windows.

If a blank wall of the house, without windows, goes towards the outbuilding, it is enough to retreat from the neighbor's house by 4 m. From the line of demarcation, the outbuilding should have a free passage of more than 1 m. Minimum Height walls from the basement to the floor beams - 2 m.

Hozblok in the country

According to sanitary standards, rainwater from the roof should not fall on the neighbor's land. With a close location of the utility block from the line of demarcation, the roof slope should be done with an inclination to your site.

The shadow from the building should not fall on someone else's garden for more than 2 hours a day. If the outbuilding is planned to be high, the distance to the line of demarcation should be increased. The distance is measured from the border of the site - the line indicated on the map in the unified register upon receipt of the cadastral number.

Any of the owners may, during construction, move the fence to their side from the approved line of demarcation. The location of the fence is not a defining line for readings.

The layout of the buildings in the yard

For allotments of land for non-commercial use - dacha and garden cooperatives - it is allowed to block neighboring outbuildings with the mutual consent of both owners. The decision is agreed with the board of the cooperative.

The paired arrangement of houses and sheds should be laid down normatively in the charter of the company. This provides a distance of 6 m from the blocked building to similar housing construction in adjacent areas.

building for animals

Outbuildings intended for keeping small animals and birds should be located according to sanitary standards at a distance of 12 m from their own housing. The distance to the neighboring house should also be 12 meters.

At what distance should the barn be located if it is planned to keep pigs, cows, and other cattle. According to sanitary standards, the smells and noise of animals should not disturb the neighbors. Increase the distance from the house to the barn. The distance must be more than 15 m.

Computer modelling

Households located on the territory of dacha cooperatives and horticultural societies are subject to restrictions on keeping poultry and pets. In most cases, it is impossible to keep cattle in such areas.

It is impossible to comply with sanitary standards on small plots. holiday villages refer to recreational areas and non-commercial land holdings. Smells and noise from animals will disturb neighbors.

Enclosure for dogs

Need to take into account

At the same time, the maintenance of large livestock and large quantities of poultry and small animals can be attributed to small businesses in terms of income, which is strictly prohibited on lands of non-commercial use.

In the charter of gardening cooperatives there is a ban on the breeding of small animals and birds or a strict regulation of their number. The land is leased by the society for the cultivation of plant products, mainly for the family.

private ownership

Rabbits and chickens accidentally entering someone else's garden can harm plants. In the regulatory documents of gardening societies, it is allowed to build only a small shed for storing tools. It can be freestanding, but more often it is built into the house or combined with a garage.

built-in barn

Sanitary standards (SanPiN) allow the construction of a barn adjacent to the house. SNiP 30-02-97 and SP 53.13330.2011 indicate at what distance from the door of a residential building the entrance to the outbuilding should be.

For buildings for storage of garden tools and other tools, the minimum distance between the entrances is not set. If the house and extension are made of fire-resistant materials, then the doors can be located side by side. In a barn with sizes up to 6 sq. m allowed entrance from a residential building.

Location on

Outbuilding for keeping poultry and small animals is provided separate entrance at a distance of at least 7 m from the door of the house. There must be a solid solid partition between the utility and residential premises.

Distance from barn to neighbor's house

Regardless of the type of barn, whether it is freestanding or built-in, the requirements for sanitary standards are the same regarding the distance from the neighbor's house. A shed for storing inventory, a garage and are located no closer than 6 m from the windows of the neighbor's housing.

Minimum distances on the site in the village

Outbuilding next to an empty lot

When building a barn next to an empty site, it is necessary to be guided by the norms of distances from the line of demarcation. In this case, it is recommended to accurately measure all distances from it. The norms of distance from one's own housing and other buildings are preserved.

A shed for inventory is placed at a distance of 1 (one) meter from the side fence and 5 meters from the front fence - the red line, but no closer to the road than the house.

In the village

The poultry block should be located in the depth of the site at a distance of 12 m from your own residential building. The smallest distance to the fence on the side and behind the site, if they are not built up, is 1 m. This size of the passage remains even if there is a non-residential building on the neighboring site, but more than 4 m before it.

Insurance against further disputes with a neighbor

When a neighbor completes the construction of his house after a while, violating the norms of distance from the buildings already on your site, you will have to prove your right as the first developer. BTI registers only residential premises. A technical passport is issued for the outbuilding at the MFC.

Even at the design stage of a private house, it is necessary to take into account many parameters and rules for the location of various buildings relative to the fence. Even on your own site, buildings cannot be placed by you in any order. The rules for installing fences and erecting buildings inside the site are regulated by SNiP. In addition to the requirements of SNiP, local regulations must be taken into account. It is advisable to comply with the requirements and recommendations of SNiP, because failure to comply threatens with a fine or a lawsuit from disgruntled neighbors. And basically judgment rendered to the detriment of the offender.

Requirements for the fence itself

When arranging your site, information about the standards for the construction of the fence itself is important. For a private house, the requirements for the fence are as follows:


In other cases, there are practically no restrictions, the best materials that meet these requirements are:

The height and transparency of the adjacent fence can be negotiated with the neighbors.
In this case, it is better to issue consent in writing and assure. This will be an official document that can help, even if the neighbors change over time.

Distance from the fence to the house

It is very important at the design and construction stage to properly position the house relative to the fence. To find out at what distance to build a house to the fence, you need to use the established standards.

Fence on the side of the road

A section of the fence overlooking the road, the so-called red line, is usually equipped with a gate and a gate. The smallest distance from the fence to the house is set at 5 m. Violating the boundaries of the building to the smaller side can cause problems when processing documents at the BTI, and does not comply with fire safety standards.

Required norms of distance from the fence from the carriageway

If the road is a driveway, the distance can be reduced to 3 m.

In addition to the requirements of SNiP, there are also fire safety standards that are sometimes difficult to fulfill:

  • A house made of stone, brick, concrete should be at a distance of 6–8 m from the fence;
  • Frame buildings with fireproof insulation - 10–12 m;
  • Wooden house - 12–15 m.

A distance of 5 m has its advantages and is preferred from a practical point of view:

  • The greater the distance from the road, the less noise from passing cars will be heard;
  • Remoteness from exhaust gases and road dust;
  • The ability to hide privacy from the views of casual passers-by.

Fence adjacent to neighboring property

Frequent conflicts and litigation are associated with the location of buildings on close range from the boundary line. To avoid quarrels and misunderstandings with neighbors, you should carefully consider the existing requirements for.
The distance to neighboring houses is determined by fire safety requirements:

  • Non-combustible materials (stone, reinforced concrete, concrete) - 6 m;
  • Non-combustible and slow-burning materials with wooden floors - 8 m;
  • Wood and frame structures - 10 m.

Often conflicts with neighbors arise due to the shading of the site during the construction of a multi-storey cottage. A tall house too close to a neighboring fence can cause plants and trees to grow poorly. However, no one wants, to the detriment of their own interests, to have a house in the middle of the site.

In any case, on this issue, it is better to contact specialists who, based on the situation, the size of the site and other details, will offer the best option. It is worth remembering that the minimum distance of the building to the adjacent fence should be at least 3 m.
This arrangement is quite legal and is rarely challenged by neighbors.

At what distance from the fence to build a bath

The location of the bath depends on many parameters: the material used for construction, the method of arranging the sewer. According to sanitary and fire standards, the minimum distance from the bathhouse to the fence adjacent to the neighboring site is 3 m.

This distance is due to the specificity of the building: the drained wastewater from the bath should not fall into the neighboring area. In addition, a bathhouse can cause a fire or a dense shadow in a neighboring area.

According to the rules, you can save half a meter by equipping a sewer drain and a drainage system, then a distance of 2.5 meters to the fence of neighbors is considered acceptable. In addition to the boundary line, you need to take into account the distance to the neighboring house - 8 m. It can be reduced to 6 m if the bath is built from materials of 1-2 flammability classes (brick, concrete or stone).

In the case of individual construction, we are most often talking about zones of individual residential development (plots are allocated for individual housing construction or private household plots and are located within the boundaries of the settlement). On such sites, it is necessary to retreat at least 1 m from the border of the site (your own site, that is, owned by you) during the construction of a one-story residential building, 1.5 m - during the construction of a two-story, 2 m - during the construction of a three-story residential at home, provided that the distance to a residential building located on a neighboring plot is at least 5 m.

And in any case, it must be remembered that from the future residential building to the border of the neighboring plot, the distances for sanitary conditions should be at least 3 m.

Now let's take a closer look at the requirements for non-residential buildings.

Basic rule:

In territories with residential one- and two-apartment houses, the distance from the windows of living rooms to the walls of the neighboring house and outbuildings (shed, garage, bathhouse) located on neighboring land plots must be at least 6 m.

It is also desirable to withstand:

Distance from the foundation of the building (any) to engineering networks:

  • Plumbing and pressure sewerage5 meters.
  • Combustible gas pipelines, depending on the pressure in the system, MPa (kgf/cm2):
    • low , up to 0.005 (0.05) – 2 meters;
    • middle , over 0.005 (0.05) to 0.3 (3) – 4 meters;
    • high :
      • over 0.3 (3) to 0.6 (6) - 7 meters;
      • over 0.6 (6) to 1.2 (12) - 10 meters.
  • Power cables all voltages and communication cables – 60 cm;
  • Channels, communication tunnels2 meters.

Regulations and regulations

  • SNiP 2.07.01-89 Urban planning. Planning and further development of both the city of Kih and rural settlements;
  • MSK-MGSN 1.01-99 p.9.1;
  • MO - TSN 30-303-2000 p.10.15;
  • Small-sized buildings: SP 30-102-99: Planning and further development of the Small-sized building area, clause 5.3;
  • Fire safety requirements: 123-F3, including sanitary SanPin 2.2.1/2.1.1.1200;
  • Requirements for communication systems SNiP 2.07.01-89.

Indents depending on the type and number of storeys of the building

The maximum allowable protrusions beyond the so-called "red line" of individual parts of various buildings are allowed in a similar way: balconies, loggias, visors, etc. - no more than 3 meters, and no higher than 3.5 meters from the ground.

With a standard width of a land plot of 12 meters (or at least 8 meters), as well as with the possible location of additional real estate objects on it, the minimum indent during the construction of a residential building from a neighboring one must be at least:

  • not less than 1 meter, during the construction of a one-story building;
  • at least 1.5 meters when building a 2-storey house;
  • when erecting a building with more than 2 floors, the indent should be at least 5 meters.

According to current legislation in urban planning, in the process of erecting a residential building, a leave of 3 meters from the boundaries of the land plot is allowed. This legislation applies to the land plot, the width of which is not less than 12 meters.

As for additional buildings, their construction is allowed with an indent of at least 1 meter.

Planning and further construction of outbuildings, in particular baths, is allowed with an indent of at least 1 meter from the edge of the land.

Simple example: Koltakova A.V. I decided to raise chickens in my yard. To do this, she is going to build a barn. However, when calculating the site for construction, it turned out that the distance from the fence is less than 1 meter. If she nevertheless decided to build a barn here, she faces an administrative violation in the form of a fine.

Minimum padding

Regarding the minimum distance from the beginning of the territory of the site of the walls of the building and other buildings, some of which are without windows, in this regard, the situation is as follows:

  • construction is allowed at such a distance that sufficient light is provided at a height of 6 meters and above at any point on land plot in the process of checking from every corner on the territory. It is worth noting that the territory on which there are no buildings yet is taken into account;
  • in a situation with a possible connection to land plots that are within the boundaries of the territorial zone, the current urban planning legislation does not provide for the legal norms of indents during the construction process various kinds buildings. Thus, there may be no indentation at all.

Legislative regulation of the minimum indent from the boundaries of the land plot of the walls of buildings of residential premises and other walls of buildings with the presence of windows:

  1. at a distance that provides excellent clearance at a height of about 6 meters from any point in the territory, with clearly separated buildings general purpose, construction of buildings not less than 10 meters is allowed. When erecting buildings with more than 1 floor, the calculation of the distance is carried out taking into account the distance between the buildings with the neighboring site;
  2. in the event that the site for construction is located next to adjacent buildings, but the future building will include no more than 1 floor, legislative acts a distance of 3 meters from adjacent buildings is provided. At the same time, this is the minimum indent, upwards it can be increased at the request of the developer.

Setbacks from neighboring buildings

The minimum retreat distance from buildings in the neighborhood is:

  • for residential buildings located near highways - at least 6 meters from a nearby building;
  • for buildings with living space, which are located near the roadway, or there is an exit to other lanes with the possibility of movement of motor vehicles along them - at least 3 meters.

In other cases, the size of the minimum distance is not provided.

Example: The owner of one of the private houses decided to build a guest house small size. To do this, he chose the area near the fence. But, from the roadway, the distance is less than 6 meters. Therefore, it is prohibited by law.

fines

In case of failure to comply with the prescribed standards for the construction of residential buildings, a number of administrative penalties are provided:

  • for violation of standards, norms and technical regulations in the amount of 500 to 1 thousand rubles;
  • for the construction and reconstruction of buildings that do not correspond acceptable standards from 2 to 5 thousand rubles;
  • in some cases, authorities state control a requirement may be established for the demolition of a part of the building that does not comply with the standards prescribed by the town planning plan.

However, in most cases, such deviations of 0.2 meters do not become a reason for the demolition or mandatory restructuring of the building. The maximum measure of punishment, as a rule, is limited to an administrative fine.

Regarding the second question, if the neighboring building does not meet the established standards, a complaint can be filed with the ZhilInspektsiy, which deals with self-check legitimacy of the construction. After that, an appropriate decision will be made on subsequent measures to address the current situation.

However, most often, in the statutory documents of each municipality a procedure may be prescribed to clarify or change the permitted use of land plots. Therefore, the developer could legitimately change the permitted use by making legitimate adjustments to the urban plan and having erected the building, put it on the cadastral register. As practice shows, such structures are rarely recognized as illegal, and the maximum penalty is a fine.

Now consider the situation a little different. Suppose we have a corner plot with you. Corner area is very convenient usually. This is very convenient, because you can easily break it into two sections painlessly.

Here, in terms of indents, in principle, the idea is the same, only here we have a red line going from both sides of the site. That is, in this case we have two roads. There is a red line on both sides. That is, from two sides, our site borders on public land. This means that in this case we have to retreat 5 meters.

And only in this rectangle we are building. That is, from here, of course, three meters from the neighbors. We assume that there is also some kind of neighbor, again three meters. We are now building in this rectangle. That is, from the red line, we keep an indent of 5 meters in any case. This is minimal.

The situation is as follows: we want to build a non-residential building, that is, not a residential building, not a capital one. It could be a garage, it could be a gazebo, etc. What is preserved here? An indent of 5 meters is maintained, firstly, for non-residential buildings. That is, a garage, you can also build from the border with a red line of at least 5 meters.

If we take the size of a classic garage, 4 by 6 meters, this is our garage, three meters high. We must retreat from the red line at least 5 meters, and further requirements for non-residential buildings: you can retreat only a meter from the borders with neighbors. That is, we can build our garage at a distance of a meter from the fence with neighbors.

At the same time, we should not have the danger of snow falling on the neighbor's site. That is, if your roof overhangs, let's say, at a distance of half a meter, that is, you have a very small distance between the fence, or your roof is quite huge and hangs over the neighbor's plot, this is forbidden, of course. If there is a danger of snow falling on the neighbor's site and, accordingly, causing him some kind of injury in the process, you must install snow stoppers on the roof.

So, let's imagine now that we have already built a garage, although these layout data are not very convenient. The shadow area will be very large. But, suppose we now want to build another gazebo 4 by 4 meters. The gazebo can stand anywhere on our site, while maintaining the same indents. That is, again we retreat from the red line 5 meters, from the rest of the parts by a meter. It can be placed in a corner, or a bathhouse, if you like, at a distance of a meter from a neighbor's fence. Here are some of the standards.

It is highly recommended to adhere to these standards. If you can still think about fire safety standards, but it is these 3 meters, 1 meter, 5 meters from the red line, the sanitary indents are important, they are unchanged, they must be maintained. In the future, if you do not stand them, you can get big money if the neighbor proves the damage that you are causing him.

The damage could be that he can't use some amount of his land if you line up too close to his fence. He will have to retreat even further, and because of this, he will not be able to use some part of his land. This is direct damage, or rather, indirect, it can be beaten in court, and so on.

It is recommended to obtain a building permit and calmly build, taking into account all regulations. After March 2015, all the freebies for post-forming the construction are completed, even if you built everything according to the standards.

Site development rules depends on which zone it belongs to. The main code designations of the zones: T1Zh1, T1Zh2-1, T1Zh2-2, TD-1_1, etc. a complete list of zones with decoding can be found in the document PZZ - rules for land use and development of the site. Residential areas, multifunctional areas, public and business areas, industrial areas.

Knowing the code of the zone in which the site is located, find in the document PZZ - (Land use and development rules), part 3, appendix 3 of the desired article, most often this is indicated in article 6 “Minimum indents of buildings, structures, structures from the boundaries land plots". Article 6 of the document PZZ main site building rules and admissible indents of buildings and structures from the boundaries of the site, as well as in subsequent articles, special cases for specific zones are indicated.

Question:
Can you help me to determine at what minimum distance from the edge of the plot it is possible to build a temporary administrative building with 2 floors? Zone TD, subspecies TD1-2_1. Site diagram below. Thank you.

Answer:
The area under consideration is highlighted in blue (upper yellow arrow) according to the PZZ. Your site is not a special case and its development is determined by article 6. In this case, although there are no buildings around the site yet, but in the future they can be built, you must retreat from the borders by 10 m, as your neighbors should retreat by 10 m, then between buildings will be at least 20m. along the border of the site, coinciding with the red line, the indentation can be 0 meters, because the red line planned according to the city plan separating the road creates an empty area that will definitely not be occupied by tall buildings and the insolation of your building will be provided (explanations from excerpts from the PZZ below).

Thinking about the construction of residential or commercial buildings in IZHS and garden associations, you need to familiarize yourself with the requirements of regulatory documentation: construction, environmental, sanitary and fire safety, regulating the location of objects capital construction relative to each other, neighbors, water sources, and so on.

After obtaining the right to use the land and the right to build, planning of the structure of the site begins. The construction of housing and utility buildings is carried out for long-term operation and must ensure:

  • legalization of the building;
  • safety of residence;
  • convenience of living;
  • safety and comfort of neighbors;
  • unhindered movement of people and vehicles in places common use;
  • no negative impact on water sources, flora and fauna of the area.

Therefore, the layout of the site and the relative position of its elements must be thought out in advance and comply with the rules and regulations.

Building codes governing the location of buildings

With private development, you need to remember the "red line" (clause 11, article 1 of the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation) - the border between your site and common areas, as well as other people's private land ownership. When installing a fence, the boundary with the street must be observed literally. If the fence is located almost on the red line, then the gate and the gate can only open inward. The sashes should not cross this conditional line, creating possible inconvenience to passers-by, cyclists, drivers.

The main regulatory document that determines the minimum distances to various economic and natural objects are mandatory (not recommendatory) for execution SNiP 30-02-97. According to them, the distances to the red line in accordance with clause 6.6 should not be less than:

  • a residential building - 5 m from the street and 3 m from the driveway (the street has a name, the driveway does not);
  • outbuildings - 5 m from the street and from the passage.

The fence is the boundary of your site, but this does not mean that you can place buildings and plantings in the interior without restrictions. The crowns of trees should not block the sidewalks and unnecessarily hang over the neighboring area, the sounds and smells of residential and utility buildings should not interfere with passers-by and neighbors. The distances to the fence between the plots can be changed by agreement with the neighbors, certified by a notary.

The minimum normalized distances from the boundary between sections to objects (clause 6.7):

  • residential building - 3.0 m;
  • poultry house, barn, pigsty, etc. - 4.0 m;
  • greenhouse with fertilizing with organic fertilizers - 4.0 m;
  • garage, shed - 1.0 m (but the flow of water from the roof, according to clause 7.5, cannot be organized to a neighboring site - the roof slope is oriented to its site);
  • bath, sauna, shower, toilet - 2.5 m (more details in the "Sanitary requirements" section);
  • tall trees - 4.0 m;
  • medium-sized trees - 2.0 m;
  • bushes - 1.0 m.

Distances from buildings are measured from the plinth or wall, if there are no decorative elements that protrude further than 500 mm. The distance between green spaces and the fence is measured to the conditional center of the trunk. The abundantly overgrown crown of a tree, with proper planting, cannot be a reason for a claim from neighbors.

When planning a site, keep in mind that, according to clause 6.13, the joint area of ​​\u200b\u200bstructures (house, outbuildings, gazebo, garage), sites and paths cannot occupy more than 30% of the entire site. The rest of the space is a green zone, it is impossible to pave the entire yard.

Attention! A permanent fence can only be installed after the boundaries of your site have been entered into the cadastral plan. For the period of legalization, the role of a fence can be played by a chain-link mesh stretched over poles. The height of the permanent fence should not exceed 1.5 m, so as not to obscure the neighbors' plot.

Maximum permissible building parameters for residential areas for low-rise individual construction

Development coefficient (K z) - the ratio of the area occupied by buildings and structures to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site.

Building density coefficient (Kpz) - the ratio of the area of ​​​​all floors of buildings and structures to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site.

A- Manor buildings of rural-urban type with a plot size of 1000-1200 m 2 or more with a developed economic part.

B- development of urban cottage type with a plot size from 400 to 800 m 2 and cottage-blocked type (2-4 apartment semi-detached houses with plots of 300-400 m 2 with a minimum economic part).

IN- multi-apartment buildings of a blocked type with a plot size of 100-300 m 2.

* In brackets - permissible parameters for cottage development.

Note:

1. With the size of land plots over 1200 m 2, the area of ​​​​a residential building is not standardized at Kz ≤ 0.2 and Kpz ≤ 0.4.

2. If the size of the adjacent land plots is less than 100 m 2, the tuning density (Kpz) should not exceed 1.2. At the same time, Kz is not standardized subject to sanitary and hygienic and fire safety requirements.

Sanitary requirements for site planning

Sanitary standards when planning the site should be given Special attention because they are aimed at maintaining the health of people. SNiP 30-02-97 gives the minimum distances that must be maintained between buildings for sanitary reasons (clause 6.8).

  • house and cellar - more than 12.0 m from the toilet, poultry house, housing for small livestock;
  • house and cellar - more than 8.0 m from the shower, sauna, bath;
  • well - more than 8.0 m from the toilet, compost heap, septic tank.

When planning construction, make sure that these distances are observed in relation to buildings on adjacent sites.

If the room for birds, goats, piglets has a common wall with residential building, the entrance to it must be isolated, at a distance of at least 7.0 m from the front door to the house (clause 6.9). To an adjacent section, the distance from such a block should be:

  • from the house - not less than 3.0 m;
  • from the premises with animals - not less than 4.0 m.

With garages adjacent to the house, the distance to the inter-estate boundary is (clause 6.9):

  • from home - more than 3.0 m;
  • from the garage - more than 1.0 m.

Fire rules for placing objects on the site

The rules for the conservation of water resources, if they are located near your site, are regulated water code RF. This applies primarily to the rules for the construction of water supply and sanitation. In addition, restrictions apply to the use of the coastline for animal walking, recreation, heaping of land dumps, compost facilities, and plowing. Limited options for using fertilizers on your site. It is impossible to enclose even a small area for the beach or walkways for boats / fishing - the entire coastline up to 20.0 m wide is the property of the state.

What threatens the failure to comply with the rules of the location of buildings

It is better to build initially, taking into account all the norms, so you will not get problems with the authorities, neighbors, or, more seriously, with the health or safety of property. If you bought a plot on which the buildings do not meet the requirements, then you need to act in all directions. As regards sanitary standards, they need to be corrected; as for relations with neighbors, all disputes must be settled by fixing the agreement reached in writing and having it certified by a notary. In many cases, good relations with neighbors are the key to trouble-free construction and legalization.

If the buildings on the site were erected during the action of softer normative documents, then consideration of the issue is conducted on the basis of their requirements.

Penalties for non-compliance with the rules for the location of buildings are determined by the Code of administrative offenses. These are different amounts of fines, and, in addition, there will be a refusal to put into operation until the inconsistencies are eliminated.

If you want to make an extension to the house - it will have to be legalized in the district authorities. Unauthorized development, according to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Article 222), should be demolished in most cases (except for those specifically stipulated).

Attention! Full order in the permits for your property will help, if desired, to sell the land and the house without any problems.

Incorrect location of buildings on the site can lead to unforeseen difficulties, up to the demolition of buildings. Before planning buildings, it is necessary to study building codes and rules, which indicate recommendations at what distance from the fence you can build a house, outbuildings, plant trees and shrubs ...

Building a residential building is a responsible business that requires a lot of time, labor and investment. Improper location of buildings on the site can lead to unforeseen difficulties, up to the demolition of buildings. You can make a mistake in smaller details: for example, a polycarbonate fence between neighbors in a country house can cause litigation. To prevent this from happening, you need to follow certain standards that determine the distance between buildings on the site. The main legislative document, which spells out the rules for the construction of any objects, is called SNiP - Building Norms and Rules. It contains recommendations on the location of buildings on the site, fences and outbuildings in accordance with architectural, fire and sanitary requirements. It is in these norms that it is indicated at what distance from the fence it is possible to build a house and other structures, to plant trees.


The rules for planning and building urban and rural settlements are regulated by SNiP

Building codes in fencing planning

When installing a fence that separates the site from the street or a neighboring household, you cannot be guided solely by your own wishes. It is possible to build a fence between neighboring plots only in accordance with certain requirements. The same applies to the distance between houses.

There are a number of documents that normalize what distance should be to fences and fences. The main one is SNiP No. 441, developed in 1972. The document indicates the maximum allowable height of a fence between neighbors - 1.5 m and an external fence - 2.2 m. But the local administrative body can make its own adjustments regarding this value. This is due to architectural or other requirements for a particular area. Therefore, before building fences, it is necessary to find out the parameters of the permissible height, first of all, from the local municipal authorities.


Requirements to appearance and the height of the fence can be put forward by the administration of the settlement

Fire regulations regulate the installation of a fence in terms of safety in the event of an open fire. With crowded buildings, close proximity to large trees, a fire can spread very quickly.

Sanitary and household recommendations are designed to avoid air, soil and water pollution, the spread of unpleasant odors. This is very important when constructing cesspools, building sheds for keeping small livestock and poultry, and dog enclosures. The SNiP indicates the minimum distance from the house to the neighbor's fence. The distance is measured from the base of the structure or its protruding part, if its size exceeds 50 cm.

Violation of the norms that determine the distance between buildings in neighboring areas can cause serious consequences: misunderstandings with neighbors, litigation, problems with the law.
Therefore, you need to carefully read the requirements of SNiP in order to apply them during construction.

Permissible distance between neighbors' houses

If a land plot for housing construction is purchased in the private sector, where neighbors already live, when laying a house, existing buildings should be taken into account.


  • The farthest distance you need to retreat from the existing wooden building: 15 m when building a new house made of wood and 10 m - from stone, brick and concrete.
  • If both houses are made of brick or concrete, but have wooden floors, the distance between them should not be less than 8 m.
  • Buildings made of non-combustible materials without wooden elements can be located closest of all - this is a distance of 6 m.
  • If the houses have 2-3 floors, the safe distance between them is more than 15 m.

The position of objects inside a private area is not strictly regulated by fire regulations.


The minimum allowable distance between neighboring houses is 6 m

Distances from outbuildings to the fence

Building codes regulate the location of outbuildings on the site relative to the fence:

  • If you plan to build a shed for storing gardening equipment or a garage, the minimum distance from the fence should be 1 m. The slope of the roof slope should be directed to your site.
  • If it is planned to grow small living creatures in the barn, at least 4 m must be retreated from the boundaries of the site. Greenhouses on organic fertilizer are placed at the same distance from the fence.
  • Structures with increased fire hazard, where open fire is used, it is not recommended to bring the building closer to the fence than 5 m. This list includes baths, boiler rooms, solid fuel saunas.
  • The distance from the garage to the fence is at least a meter. But only if the rest of the buildings are 6 m away from the fence.
The norms for the location of buildings on a land plot should not be ignored, not only in order to avoid problems with the law, but also for the purpose of convenient and safe operation of these buildings.


Permitted distances from buildings to the fence, established by sanitary and fire safety standards

  • Showers and toilets are allowed to be placed on the site no closer than 2.5 m from the fence. Baths and saunas on gas fuel and electricity can be built at the same distance.
  • Spreading tall trees should not be located closer than 3 m from the fence. The distance is determined from the center of the trunk to the edge of the plot. Subject to this condition, the shadow from the crown will not interfere with the neighbors.
  • Medium-sized trees can be planted no closer than 2 m, and shrubs - 1 m from the boundaries of the site.

Fence height in front of neighbor's windows

The fence between the sites should not bring inconvenience to neighbors living nearby. Height requirements largely depend on the type of fence.

The fence cannot have a height greater than 1.5 m if its structure is lattice or mesh.


The mesh fence can have a maximum allowable height for fences - 1.5 m

The height of blind fences should not exceed 0.70 m. If this size exceeds the recommended value, you should stock up on written permission from your neighbors. It may be needed in the event of a conflict.

It is allowed to build a blind fence 0.70 m high with any translucent materials up to a maximum value of 1.5 m without agreement with neighbors.

Reference! In some regions, it is allowed to increase the transparent fence up to 2.2 m, deaf - up to 0.75–1.5 m.


A blind fence can be built up with a mesh, a lattice, a wooden crate with gaps

When installing a fence with a thickness of more than 5 cm, it should be placed on the territory of your site. If it is required to install a thick structure on the boundary, the written consent of the neighbors is required.

If the fence installed on the site causes flooding of the neighboring household with melt and rainwater, it is necessary to make a drainage system, otherwise the design of the fence will need to be changed or demolished.

From the point of view of norms and rules, the installation of a lattice, mesh fence or hedge from ornamental and fruit shrubs will not cause any complaints.

Plank fences should have gaps from 50% of the total area.

Materials and structures for fencing must be safe, securely fastened and not have sharp protruding parts.

A capital fence can only be erected after the boundaries of the site are registered with the cadastral office. Before that, you need to use a temporary fence, for example, from a chain-link mesh.

How to arrange buildings inside the site

Prior to construction, it is necessary to draw up a site plan with the location of a residential building and outbuildings. The main law governing the construction of facilities on the site, SNiP 30-02-97. Here are the recommendations aimed at the safety and preservation of human health. The document indicates at what distance you can build objects inside the site:

  • toilet with cesspool, a barn for poultry and small livestock should be located no closer than 12 m from a residential building and a cellar.
  • A septic tank, a toilet, a compost heap are arranged at a distance of more than 8 m from the well.
  • Shower, bath, sauna - at least 8 m from the residential building and cellar.


Permissible distance between buildings within the site

If the household block with animals and the residential building are located adjacently, the entrances are arranged separately and removed from each other at a distance of at least 7 m.

It is necessary to strictly observe sanitary standards regarding the minimum distances between a residential building and objects that carry an increased epidemiological danger. Neighboring adjacent areas are also subject to the regulations.

How to plan building on your own land is described in detail in the video:

Distance from road to home

When building houses, the term "red line" is used. It marks the boundary between a private lot and a street or driveway.

If the fence is located directly on the "red line", the gate leaves and the gate must open inwards. The conditional line must not be cluttered up and built up in any case, because vehicular and pedestrian traffic is disrupted.

SNiP 30-02-97 defines the distance from the "red line" to:

  • residential building - 5 m;
  • outbuildings - 5 m.

In cases where the site borders not on a street (with a name), but on a passage (lane without a name), these distances are equal to:

  • to housing - 3 m,
  • to outbuildings - 5 m.


The distance from the building to the border of the site - the "red line" depends on the type of street

These values ​​are mandatory, not recommended. In case of violation of this paragraph, local authorities may require the dismantling of the fence and even the building. In addition, the minimum distance from the fence to the road will depend on the laid communications.

At what distance from the fence can you build a house on a garden plot

According to the norms, the distance from the fence to the residential building cannot be less than 3 m. It is not worth moving the building closer to the edge of the site, not only because of strict rules, but also common sense. In addition to protection from street noise and prying eyes, such a gap will make it possible to carry out maintenance and exterior repairs of the building.

Even if there is an agreement with the owner of the neighboring site that he is satisfied with a closer neighborhood, you should not violate this clause. non-compliance minimum distance before the fence during the construction of a house is often the cause of civil strife, which can lead to litigation in court. Nerves and money will be spent, and the court will make a decision not in favor of the person who violated the law. Failure to comply will result in major administrative fines or even forced dismantling of the structure.


Disputes with neighbors due to improper location of buildings, fences often end in litigation

When planning the construction of a house, you need to take into account the requirements for its location. The distances from the site boundary to the building are determined as follows:

  • Retreat from the "red line" 5 m if there is a street behind the fence, or 3 m if there is a passage.
  • From the neighbor's house should be separated by a distance that implies fire safety. Depending on the combustibility of the materials of the building being erected and the existing building, a minimum value is chosen, which can be from 6 to 15 m.
  • At the same time, the condition must be met - the distance between the house and the fence is at least 3 m.

When combining a residential building with a garage or outbuildings, the distance to the fence is assumed to be 3 m.

The remaining household facilities are located from the house no closer than the minimum allowable distances in compliance with restrictive standards in relation to the neighboring site and the house.


Building regulations apply to the location of buildings, fences, plantings in the garden and summer cottage

Conclusion

The first step in building a house is to carefully read the building codes and regulations. Compliance with the requirements prescribed in the document will help to avoid problems with neighbors and authorities. In addition, residential buildings and outbuildings that are correctly located on the site are less at risk of fires, do not pollute environment. Compliance with norms during construction is a guarantee of the safety of your property and health.
