  1. It’s a part of the building permitting process, they show the shape of a building that has a permit applied for.

    There is probably an official process to express your disapproval about the building.

  2. These are showing the layout of a new house that is planned to be built. The landlord has to put them there according tho his plan and then the neighbours have a specific period of time to react before the official permission for the construction approval will be given by the villages construction department.
