Building a semi-detached house in the exemption procedure?

Good morning,
in our new development area (in Rhineland-Palatinate) according to the development plan, single-family houses and semi-detached houses may be built.
Is a "major" approval procedure still required for the construction of a semi-detached house (adjacent construction -> special building) or is the exemption procedure sufficient here as well?
Is anything else required for the building permit (I have also read something in this forum about building encumbrance registrations due to the adjacent construction)?

Best regards

Hello Cordi,

the problem with the encumbrances only arises if the boundary between the houses already exists, each half is built separately, and then only if the person in charge is on the ball. In the exemption process, there is a good chance that no one checks this, even if construction is not simultaneous. If the boundary is formed later, it may be somewhat more expensive, but it usually resolves the issue with the encumbrances.

As long as the semi-detached house does not fundamentally violate the development plan, it is also approvable like a single-family house through the exemption process. But any architect can tell you this in their sleep and explain it in 5 minutes, plus you need an architect anyway.

Best regards
