A quick definition of altius tollendi:

Term: ALTIUS TOLLENDI

Definition: Altius tollendi is a legal term that means "of raising higher" in Latin. It is a type of servitude that allows a landowner to build a house as high as they want.

A more thorough explanation:

ALTIUS TOLLENDI

Altius tollendi is a Latin term that means "of raising higher." In Roman and civil law, it refers to a servitude that allows a landowner to build a house as high as desired.

For example, if a landowner has the altius tollendi servitude on their property, they can build a multi-story building without any restrictions on height. This servitude is often used in urban areas where space is limited, and building up is the only option.

Another example is if a landowner wants to add an additional floor to their existing building, but local zoning laws restrict the height of buildings in the area. If the landowner has the altius tollendi servitude, they can build the additional floor without any legal issues.

The examples illustrate how the altius tollendi servitude allows a landowner to build higher than what would normally be allowed by local zoning laws. This servitude gives the landowner more flexibility in how they use their property and can be especially useful in areas where space is limited.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
