Development plan duplex - plot?

Hello everyone,

maybe this is a silly question, but I’d like to have it clarified for myself

What happens if I buy a plot of land where the development plan provides for a semi-detached house: do I then have to look for a construction company together with the owner of the land for the other half?

Building just one half alone won’t work, right? And if it does, could it also be a prefab house company, or does it only work with solid construction because maybe the requirements don’t fit the prefab house dimensions?

Please don’t laugh

Thank you very much!

For your reassurance... there are no stupid questions... at most, questions that are not asked... and that would really be stupid.

You can also hire a completely different entrepreneur... it doesn’t matter... and if you build first, you have better cards. Prefabricated houses are also possible... although you have to comply with fire protection regulations.... furthermore.. which is not quite so easy (of course solvable..) the sealing... or prevention of moisture between the building structures.... in timber and solid construction methods.

Thank you very much, that is interesting! So there could well be a lonely half standing around for a while... I wouldn't have thought that.

Best regards

yes.. it would be like that.. if no other buyer is found.. then it looks a bit strange.. the next few years... mostly built narrow and long.. a bare gable... but well, that can happen.... and if you are the first, you naturally have to ensure the proper sealing anyway (wind and rain tightness)... and another, even serious disadvantage would of course be the missing thermal insulation there.
That is then a really bad story...

Good to know.

How strict are the development plans, actually?

For example, a plot to be divided is to be built with a semi-detached house according to the plan. Does it have to be like that, or could you, for example, purchase the entire plot and then build a smaller single-family house on it?

Is the development plan basically a limit like no more is allowed, but less is okay, or does the size also have to comply?

Thank you very much

The development plan legally stipulates what and how something may be built. However, it may indeed be possible to allow a single-family house instead of a semi-detached house. In principle, the regulation, however, forces one to build on the boundary and thus have 2 objects, wall to wall. Usually, there is also an architectural requirement regarding the planned street views of a development. But what the heck, asking doesn't cost anything. And if enough plots are still lying fallow... one may possibly be willing to allow exceptions for a sale here.
