I have great understanding that a construction project must fit according to Para 34, but I have less understanding that there apparently are no clear and outwardly transparent criteria within which one can create a plan that then also has validity.
There are no clear criteria in Para 34, and there is also no plan. Otherwise, there would essentially be a development plan.
If there are freshly built houses still standing in the same district,
Same district is not the same as neighboring buildings. You cannot refer to an entire village or district or whatever when Para 34 concerns the neighboring buildings.
It is just the way it is: whoever buys a plot should get informed.
And as far as I understand, you did get your gable side approved including a huge double garage, which does not really fit in old residential streets. So in that respect, you can be satisfied with the result, right?!
If you want to build on another plot, then send an architect who represents your interests in front of the building regulation office people who know him. That saves effort and is usually somewhat more successful.
Do the two ground floor layout proposals make sense in terms of room sizes, room divisions, and corridor widths?
What about the upper floor?
Since you (or you all) plan to initially have the sleeping floor in the upper floor, I would use the planned dressing room here as a wardrobe.
If later you can’t manage anymore and move downstairs or stay on top due to being bedridden, you won’t need a large wardrobe anymore. That can all go into the utility room then.
I don’t like the straight corridor because from the entrance or door you can already look directly into the private area. The idea actually comes from me, but personally, I would fiddle with it until it fits. If you take the draft to a company, nobody will help you there and they will build everything, including faux pas.
Then I also have to say that with all the limitations and wishes, why and how the house should now not be built one meter longer, I get confused. There is no sketch that shows a supposed “building line” or “building boundary.” Because if you must build the house three meters from the street but the garage five meters, you can very well plan the entrance on the side. I have never understood why one now has to get through a direct door into the garage and avoids the path across the front door.
I actually had to flip forward again because no north is marked.
And the garage is not visible either. I would always include everything, including parking spaces etc., in a draft. You can get a good but different approach that quickly but then forget the other components of the planning.
Draw the entire plot to scale, mark the limitations, then place the house and the garage on it and communicate that.
And therefore I cannot answer this question at all…
What potential advantages would arise from your point of view if the house or garage could still be shifted against each other in the longitudinal direction by 1 to max 2 meters?
Was there ever the drawn plot including all components, except the subsequently submitted site plan from ?
