City villa with a half-hipped roof?! Does such a thing exist?

Hello,
we have reserved a plot of land with 477m² and would like to place our architect-planned two two-story town villas there.
However, the development plan is throwing a huge wrench in our plans. According to the development plan, in our building section exactly, two two-story town villas with tent roofs or hip roofs are not allowed, but only two-story house types with gable roofs or half-hip roofs with a maximum pitch of 30°! Directly opposite (other side of the street) is another building section and according to the development plan, even shed roofs are allowed there. ?! (Unfortunately, there were no suitable plots left for us there.) We just got a corner plot and are now trying to use that as an advantage (because you have a nice view from all sides, not looking at a gable...).

What can we do? The building authority here says "there will be no change to the statute and development plan, it stays as it is, stick to the development plan and build accordingly."
Great statement.

Now we have been searching for days on the internet for pictures showing a town villa (approx. 9x10m, ca. 135m²) with a half-hip roof but found nothing. I have not found a single picture yet; maybe someone of you could kindly send me a link or a picture so we can get an idea of what it looks like.

Our architect is now trying to obtain a special permit from the building authority with an official letter, but the "still" landowner (construction company) told us that then everyone in this building section would have to build a town villa with a tent or hip roof and that wouldn’t be possible, so we should stick to the development plan and that’s it. Very accommodating as you can see.

We are slowly losing track and would be happy to see a picture of a town villa with a half-hip roof, because that is allowed and then we could finally start and begin and maybe come to like the house type after all.
Thank you.

Hello,



What exactly is a city villa for you?



If you already have an architect, then he should draw you a city villa with a gable roof.



The municipality must have had a reason when setting up the development plan. I would almost rule out a special permit. How do you want to justify it?
"I don't like a city villa with a gable roof" will not be enough as an argument.



This has nothing to do with accommodation or rather lack thereof. If it is specified in the development plan, then it is specified. Exceptions do exist, but they have to be justified.

Regards

A change to the development plan provisions in individual cases can also be made without a complete amendment of the development plan.

The prerequisite for such an exceptional permit would therefore be:
[I]
- The change relates to one or some prominent points

- The interests of the public are not affected
- The interests of individuals are not affected
- The owners of the immediate neighboring properties must be heard

Our property is a corner lot, so the desired tent or hipped roof can be seen from all sides, which in my opinion fits better and looks better visually. It is completely incomprehensible why a shed roof or half-hipped roof is allowed at this location, but an aesthetically pleasing tent or pyramid roof is not permitted. Of course, this is always a matter of taste...


We are not keen on having a legal dispute with the city, so my question is whether anyone has a picture of a city villa with a half-hipped roof. We cannot quite imagine this from the drafts.

A typical city villa looks like this to me (see below, 2 full floors with a 26° flat roof):

Our architect has of course already presented us the gable roof variant in new drafts. However, a house looks different in drafts than it would in reality.

Hello,


An example would be the change of the eaves or ridge height.


They are not, especially since a change – of the eaves or ridge height – will hardly be noticed by the untrained observer.

A challenge to the development plan can – until the final decision – take between several months and some months.

Where did you take the picture?


Kind regards

We took the picture in some new development area near us so that we have a few nice designs and afterwards want to design our dream house from all the photos taken? Why?! Is it yours
