Floor plan - 135 sqm, 1.5 storeys, gable roof

There is no development plan for the area. There is a local statute. It states that construction must be customary for the area, that is, like neighboring buildings. A few things are specified - such as a maximum knee wall height of 1.20 m, eaves facing the path at the height of the adjacent houses, etc. The exterior of the house is also quite precisely defined

If I were a construction lawyer, I might possibly see this as a development plan covering the entire locality as a planning area - with the consequence of the same legal recourse in case of unreasonable regulations. I consider prescribing the material of the front door to be borderline.

I consider prescribing the material of the front door borderline.

Hm, it’s my first house No idea what is common in such regulations. Here are the main statements:

[*]Roofs of main buildings may only be depicted as symmetrical gable, warm roof, or half-hipped roofs and must have a pitch of 35-55 degrees and eaves of equal height.
[*]Roofs of ancillary buildings may only be depicted as symmetrical gable roofs and must have a pitch of 35-55 degrees and eaves of equal height.
[*]An eaves overhang of between 0.20 and 0.40 m is to be provided at the eaves of main buildings; the eaves overhang at the verge must not exceed 0.20 m.
[*]Knee walls (Drempel) are permitted up to a maximum height of 1.20 m.
[*]Roof surfaces with a 35-55 degree pitch may only be covered with natural red to red-brown roof tiles or roof stones. The roof covering must not consist of glazed material.

[*]"Dormers" are only permitted as shed, gable, triangular, or hip dormers.
[*]Roof cutouts are only permitted on the side away from the traffic area. On the street side, a maximum of 3 roof windows up to 1 sqm each are permitted.
[*]Roof dormers must visually subordinate themselves to the facade and the overall surface...
[*]and so on... (irrelevant, dormers are not planned for us)

[*]Street-side main buildings must adapt their eaves height to the buildings on the adjoining plots to the side: eaves height differences are only permitted up to a maximum of 1.00 m.
[*]The plinth height of street-side main buildings must be adapted to the plinth heights of the buildings on the adjoining plots to the side and may exceed or fall below them by 0.40 m, but must not exceed 1.00 m.
[*]Balconies, bay windows, conservatories, and roof terraces on houses with the eaves facing the street side are only permitted on the street-facing eaves side.

[*]The facade surfaces of street-side main buildings must be plastered. Only fine- to medium-grained plaster with non-directional surface texture is permitted.
[*]Claddings or facings made of metal, ceramic, and plastic are not permitted on the street facades. Only wooden claddings on the gables of buildings are permitted.
[*]For the color design of plastered facades, only tones from the range of white, yellow, brown, green, and gray with a lightness value of 40 to 80 are permitted.

[*]Windows and doors are to be executed in a vertical format. Windows in knee walls and basement floors may also have horizontal or square formats.
[*]Street-side window openings larger than 1.00 sqm must be structured. When installing casement windows, mullions and transoms must be designed as glass-dividing elements.
[*]The street-side arrangement of ribbon windows is not permitted. Window openings must be separated from each other by pillars at least 0.24 m wide.
[*]Glass blocks are not permitted in street facades.
[*]Front doors must be made of wood only. Glazed areas of front doors may be a maximum of 0.50 sqm.

[*]Entrance projections and canopies must be made of wood only. For their covering, cardboard, roof stones, or tiles must be used. Awnings are only permitted made of textile material.
[*]Street-side front steps must be designed only as solid external stairs. Block steps made of concrete or clinker brickwork must be made.

[*]Open enclosures of front gardens must be made only of wood or metal. Their height must not exceed 1.20 m. Doors, supporting construction, and fence panels must be executed in the same height and construction.

Don’t know if that’s really helpful with respect to the floor plan, but that was basically the bulk of the regulation... I’ll spare you the details on advertising structures etc. here

Uff... they probably want to win with the village street in "our village should become more beautiful"... the only thing missing is that you are not allowed to green the facade facing the street.

Well.. it’s too late, I have nothing more to say about it.

Oh sh.... what regulations. This is unbelievable

Well... it's just a village street. They don't want to distort the village structure there. In that respect, I think it's okay. You can find yourself there and also in a nice house. If you don't want to find yourself there, you don't have to buy the property. If I were to buy a building gap in our old village center, I would also have to deal with such requirements. And if you build with an architect, he will also find ways to incorporate free accents.

Better than any city villa without requirements

In our village center [Paragraph 34] which is viewed loosely It doesn’t look bad. They are all gable roof houses (except the parsonage) on the main street from the listed building up to ours
