Hello everyone,
we bought a plot of land with an existing basement in the middle of the year. We want to build new on it. However, the existing basement floor plan limits us somewhat in the facade design due to an existing terrace.
After several conversations with general contractors, prefab house suppliers, carpenters & a well-known architect, we have heard many different explanations regarding our "desired exterior facade". And so far, the local building authority has only given us superficial / general statements.
The issue is that the facade may only be set back up to 1/3 – but does this only refer to the eaves height? Or not?
What do you think? Would the facade comply with the development plan?
Here is the floor plan of the existing basement:

Here is a sketch of our desired facade:

Here is the relevant excerpt from the development plan:
