Distance area Bavarian Building Code 01.02.2021

A clear statement could not be made this way.

Interesting. Since I cannot think of any approach for a different opinion at all, how would a distance surface calculation look like according to the construction lawyer for a hipped roof?

The district office says (wall height + roof height) * 0.4.

This approach can hardly apply from the outer wall, because there is no roof height there. And from the intersection of hip and ridge, the distance surface should only be larger than that of the outer wall at a roof pitch over 45°.

Ah, that was poorly phrased by me – he meant that the current wording is not clearly formulated for non-lawyers.

he said that the current wording is not clearly formulated for non-lawyers.

Then non-non-lawyers will all the more be able to have three different opinions about it :-)
