Is it allowed to park a truck on your own property?

Questioner

Our neighbor parks a vintage truck of 12 meters long and about 3.5 meters high in his driveway. Right up against our property line. With the nose right against the public road. This takes away all our view to the right. We live on an industrial estate. Is he allowed to do this? Or should there be a distance to the property line?

Normally, something like this is included in the zoning plan. On the site www.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl you can check which zoning plan applies and which rules apply to a specific plot based on the address. If the plot in question has multiple colours, then multiple destinations apply to that plot. For example, the yellow part is 'residential' and the soft green part is 'garden'. In that situation, it is also important to determine where exactly that truck is parked and then you must also click on that exact spot in the plan map. The associated rules appear when you click on the relevant destination name. If you can't figure it out, I can perform a plan test for you. Please contact me directly.
