Hello everyone,
my wife and I are currently considering buying a plot of land in the Berlin surrounding area, but we are not quite sure due to the plot width and the city's building regulations and are therefore hoping for some tips.
Regarding the situation: The plot has a street frontage of 20m. There is no development plan, so §34 of the Building Code applies. According to the municipality, a distance of 3m must be maintained to the neighboring plot on the left and right, as well as 6m to the street.
Our goal would be to build a single-family house with about 180 sqm spread over 2 floors plus a garage next to it (i.e. a basic living area of 90 sqm excluding exterior walls). This would leave a buildable street frontage of 14m for the house and garage, which somehow seems a bit small to me.
Is this at all realistic, or how realistic is it to extend the building area? Does this mainly depend on the municipality or also on the neighbors? In the worst case, does a carport also fall under these building limits or can an exception be made for it?
We are still somewhat uncertain whether the plot would be a suitable option under these circumstances.
Best regards and thanks for your assessment
Stephan
