Hello, we live in a "new development area" which has emerged over the last 12 years and was fully built up about 5 years ago.
There are about 90% single-family houses and semi-detached houses here, which were built in the form of a ground floor + gable roof with a maximum of 45 degrees. Besides that, a few outliers, 1 urban villa and one semi-detached house with 2 full floors and a flat roof, max. 22 degrees roof pitch.
Now a neighbor intends to add a floor and extend his single-family house (ground floor + gable roof):
+ one full floor
+ on top a attic with a roof pitch about 4 degrees steeper
+ dormer on one longitudinal side of the roof 5 x 2.80
+ conservatory on the other longitudinal side on the ground floor + 1st full floor + attic (dormer-like), the conservatory should have a footprint of about 19 sqm
+ external staircase
Actually, this results in almost 3 full floors (due to the huge dormer and the conservatory) and it becomes huge.
So in the future, one will look into our garden from almost 9 m height.
According to the neighbor’s statement everything is planned according to the development plan and fully utilized up to the last detail. This of course raises questions. Since our building authority is unmanned this week and they want a signature from us, here is the question:
Are dormers and conservatories of this size considered subordinate? Are they taken into account in setback areas and façade height?
The façade height is only 6 m and is utilized with 2 full floors, but now there is this floor-to-ceiling dormer with almost 15 sqm on the one hand and the conservatory, floor-to-ceiling with 19 sqm on the other. Is this disregarded?
This house would stand out from the entire development area, is it to be assumed that the built environment will be disregarded when complying with the development plan or could it be that it "does not fit into the surroundings"?
Thank you.
