Emissions / immissions: Tolerance, protection
Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)
Service Description
As a neighbor of an installation, you must tolerate immissions to a certain extent, provided that you are not/only insignificantly affected by them.
As a neighbor of a facility, which can be a business or just a piece of land, you must tolerate immissions to a certain extent if you are not or only insignificantly affected by them. How much impairment you have to tolerate generally depends on whether or not there is a significant nuisance, harmful environmental impact or other hazards (e.g. factory noise in the vicinity of industrial sites or pollutant emissions from industrial plants).
An insignificant impairment exists, for example, if the immission values of the TA-Lärm ("Technical Instructions on Noise Abatement") or the TA-Luft ("Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control") are not exceeded and the emission values for the prevention of harmful environmental impacts are complied with at the facilities. The requirements for installations requiring a permit are more stringent than those for installations not requiring a permit.
