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.
