I have a simple question:
Is it the intention of some architects/planners that building applications/notifications get rejected due to the simplest mistakes, or are these people just too stupid to handle the simplest things?
For two direct neighbors, the construction was delayed by 4 months because the floor area ratio was not complied with in the building application. How on earth can you get that wrong? You have to provide proof in the building application that you have complied with it. So why plan bigger?
If I have a 500 sqm plot with a floor area ratio of 0.3, the floor area of a city villa (same above/below) simply cannot be more than 150/2 = 75 sqm. So why apply for 10x8m, when even a first grader can calculate that 80 > 75...
WHY????? And why does this happen so often? Can anyone call themselves a planner/architect? Don’t come at me with "to err is human." If I hire an expensive architect, I expect the application to be approved. Otherwise, I might as well do it myself and save several thousand euros...
