Development plan unclear regarding the number of floors and height on the slope

I would initially also read that you cannot raise the bungalow 2m high. It is stated pretty clearly, "the floor adjacent to the street." Without a basement, that is your ground floor. In such cases, however, a building inquiry is sometimes worthwhile. Usually, one just wants to avoid builders constructing towers on their property that then rise above all other houses because of the view on the slope. With a bungalow, that is not an issue.

Ok thanks for the assessment. Again the chicken-and-egg problem then. I actually don’t want to buy the property before I know exactly what is approved for it. But the municipality is pressing regarding the reservation. Then we’ll have to see.

I agree. I also believe that with a 2m embankment you will most likely achieve a Pyrrhic victory because you'll have to catch all of it. How far should the house be from the street? To me, this sounds like a classic hillside house with a partly buried basement.

We don't want to embank anything. The base slab should already be buried at the top, so that a step is created behind the house. But it makes a huge difference whether I place the bungalow on the first and steeper slope and only have to excavate half a meter at the top, or whether I have to dig 2m down over the entire plot to reach street level. The building envelope starts 5m behind the property boundary and we also wanted to build in that area. I think if it is approvable, it would be possible (we already had a construction company there), hence the question about the plan. A classic hillside house would certainly be more obvious, but it's out of the question for us. Thanks for your opinion.

To assess this, one should know the development plan and be aware of the building boundaries. Are you building uphill on a slope? I would plan this very carefully in advance with a site plan and possible surroundings. Adding 2 meters of fill is also no small matter.

Yes, exactly uphill on a slope, but as I said, it is more of an embankment with a slight slope following it, and our idea would be to build on the embankment (the building area only starts after that anyway). We do not want to add fill but rather embed the base slab at the top, just only 0.5-1m and not 2.5m.

Even if a bungalow would be possible, houses should always be built with the plot and not against the plot. So use the slope and make the best of it (basement for technical rooms, sleeping, hobby rooms and ground floor for living/dining/cooking). Because of the slope, you also get a lot of light and large windows in the basement. I warn against building against the plot and then building a bungalow set 2m higher, which then has to be supported forever by masses of L-stones (wasting 10m in the garden) to eventually have the natural plot slope again. That not only looks ridiculous but probably also costs 50k-100k.. Better to use the basement in the slope right away as a living basement

I'm not sure but I would think that with this plan you don't have to support it because we're not filling in anything. We just want to overcome the first embankment by simply building on it instead of digging everything out. The top will still be excavated, but correspondingly less.

Two floors are actually definitely out of the question for us. We don't need them and of course don't want to pay for them.

Thank you very much for the assessment!

What is your situation .. left (1) or right (2) of the street = blue? KG would be omitted for you and is only optionally entered here. And the ground floor (EG) must probably be positioned so that in case 1 it slopes down towards the street, but OK with the highest point of this terrain drop, then leveling for the floor slab. In case 2 it is filled up to street level, then floor slab ground floor and planned to slope down again to the right.



And, does the property even fall into the area where I+D apply?

So you have already made a reservation and the municipality is putting pressure on you?

I can also recommend what said. Make a preliminary building inquiry.

If not much earthwork is really supposed to be done, the buried basement is just costs.

Nevertheless, I would plan this a bit more intensively. Have you ever created a height plan of the property? Are there reference points on the property? The Geoportal is helpful.
