Subj : building permit for a factory To : All From : Gerhard Strangar Date : Wed Nov 27 2019 06:51:02 High, I just read an article about Elon Musk planning a factory close to Berlin. He's expecting production to start in 2021. Does this work anywhere in the western world? A zoning plan does exist, the land-use plan was created 20 years ago and a forest has been growing on that land since then. It's going to take almost half a year to get the permit though every goverment office and then he's going to meet some tree-huggers - literally. If they do not only chain themselfs to the trees, but manage to find some nearly-extinct insect and file a lawsuit, it might take another two years just to get a permit for removing the trees.
