Garden house and WEG shared corridor parcel

as far as I can see

I see nothing.

I wonder

I also asked you.

Who should one ask here best?

Surveyor, architect, or civil engineer. Most likely one of those who signed the construction documents.

Do I have a chance?

Not without information.

A garden shed counts towards the floor area ratio.

Once again: if you don’t provide concrete details here apart from shaky terms like "pretty much maxed out," "actually," etc., no one can help you.

Otherwise, everything is here about what you should/must do, i.e., what the city will advise you:

Thank you very much for your answers! Ok, I will now try to be a bit more specific.

Floor area ratio 1: 0.275 (Allowed 0.3) Floor area ratio 2: 0.466 (Allowed 0.6) From my point of view, the floor area ratio should not be a problem.

The city of Hamburg has sent a circular (attachment) to everyone in our area. This letter mentions design rules. It also states what is still possible with the garden shed and which colors are allowed.

Where can I find these design rules? Where do these requirements come from?

Letter from the city of Hamburg:

Where can I find these design rules?

On your desk? In your mailbox? At your neighbors’?
If you say that everyone received the design framework, why are you asking where to find it?
Apart from that, they should be part of your purchase contract.

Where do these guidelines come from?

Design plans are part of a building concept on a limited area. City planners develop the concept over years based on soil conditions, environmental protection, surroundings, infrastructure, and so on.
Together with architects, the building authority, and the developer, the concept is implemented.
In the Ox project it also seems to be about preserving the park area. Additionally, animal welfare is a topic.
I haven’t read everything, but through your link you get exactly the information you are looking for. All the justifications are there or something like this:

To be honest, I don’t understand why you don’t want to understand that your neighborhood is a community concept.
This is not the first project in Hamburg that stands out because of its structure compared to the surroundings. The aim is to strengthen community through the neighborhoods. The why is not up for discussion here. But now you are someone who wants to put up a 30 sqm small garden house on a tiny lawn strip instead of a little garden shed, and according to the Condominium Act it is not even your property yet.
Just google the Condominium Act!

You certainly also have a homeowners’ meeting every year: why don’t you raise your problem there?

Otherwise: it is what it is: there are house rules, and you follow them. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy.

On your desk? In your mailbox? With your neighbors?
If you write that everyone received the design framework, why do you ask where they can be found?
Apart from that, they should be part of your purchase contract.

You surely have an owners' meeting every year: why don’t you bring up your problem there?

Otherwise: it is as it is: there are house rules, and you have to follow them. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy.

Hello, I am new in this area and would like to understand how to read and interpret a development plan. Regardless of what it concerns (garden fence, carport, garden house, etc.).
The property is divided according to WEG and the contract is set up so that I am allowed to build a garden house on my area. An owners' meeting in which we talk about the common areas is not necessarily the occasion where I can discuss my garden house.

I do not have the design framework, nor do any of my neighbors I know.

[*]Does such a plan not have to be linked with a development plan or the explanations of the development plan?
[*]The development plan mentions something about house color, garden fence, trees, and shrubs. In the letter from the city it says something about ivory-colored strips on the garden house, etc. Where do these specifications come from?

I interpret this letter as quite official - don't I?


And accordingly, a carport, garden shed, etc. would not be up for discussion at all.

If I understand correctly, you want to make some structural changes to the common property. The ground on which the garden shed, which also requires a building permit, is to stand has only been assigned to you for special use. I can only say from experience that the hurdles are likely too high and the potential for frustration too great. If possible, say goodbye to the idea.

Best regards Gabriele
