Or is the expectation that someone here will familiarize themselves with YOUR development plan and explain it to you?
I complain in countless threads that you can do little to nothing with fragments from development plans, that the overall context always has to be seen, and now a thread starter comes along who provides complete information right from the start and that is too much? If you want to give a useful answer, then you have to read everything. Some formulations are simply difficult to interpret for inexperienced people (sometimes even for experts). And if he only quoted parts from the planning law provisions, there might still be passages in the design-related building code part that are important for answering the initial question.
Perhaps will find the crucial passage in the plan.
I cannot contribute anything new to the initial question, but can only confirm that the municipality wants to restrict the freedom of individual builders as little as possible.
So, I will NOT look into the development plan.
Then don’t. But then you should also refrain from such posts:
In Plankstadt there will be some fine print to read later: Builders of the house groups must adapt to the first construction of a house group in DN, WH and GH
Where is that fine print supposed to be? There is a legally binding development plan with an integrated design statute. The approval authority cannot invent additional criteria that could prevent a regulation-compliant building project. For that, an amendment to the development plan would have to be initiated with all consequences (public hearing, public inspection, council resolution). The justification for the development plan clarifies the concept of building freedom IMHO even more:
6.3 ... The individual decision-making freedom of individual builders is restricted to a reasonable extent in favor of an urban-planning desired mixture ratio of house types. ... 6.11.1 ... By grading according to plot sizes, owners and prospective builders are enabled the greatest possible design freedom on their own plots. ... 7 ... The provisions on the structural execution of the main buildings (roof shape, roof pitch, roof structures, roofing) shall ensure an acceptable overall appearance of the new development area while allowing sufficient scope for individual solutions. I can understand the concerns regarding technical difficulties and the overall appearance, but I cannot see any reprehensible conduct on the part of the municipality. The Legoland villages of the resettlement sites in the Rhenish lignite mining area are partly not exactly pearls of urban planning either, so I quite welcome a different urban development approach.
