Hello dear ones,
we are currently preparing the kickoff for our house construction project. In this, it is indicated whether the construction project complies with the development plan. Now we have the problem that a maximum eaves height of 4 meters is prescribed. This is to be measured from street level or the upper edge of the curb. In the drawings from the construction company, I cannot clearly see where the eaves point is. There is an indication that could fit, but at 4.29m. The eaves height is not further defined in the development plan, but according to the internet, there seem to be several interpretations. The terrain slopes slightly downward from the property towards us, but nothing has been surveyed yet. Now we are wondering whether one should trust this "slope" so that we come under 4 meters after all, or whether the measurements in the drawing might not actually indicate the correct eaves height? I am attaching the drawing for you. The municipality has also already said that exceeding the eaves height will not be approved. In principle, one could "bury" the house a little more to comply with the height. Of course, one can submit the application and hope that it will still be approved; if it is rejected, one probably has to pay again for a new review of the corrected building application, right?
Thanks for your help
Best regards
