A machine outside is not the same as inside. The land may belong to someone other than the building owner.
Placing a machine outdoors requires the landowner's or site manager's consent. Within the road right-of-way (pas drogowy), a permit from the road authority to occupy it is needed under the Polish Public Roads Act. Local rules, such as those on public space aesthetics, may add requirements.
To Check
