Hello everyone,
this month we are starting with the construction of our house and we are currently working on the final changes to our plot. The floor area ratio of 0.2 + 50% is almost fully used up. What is still missing at the moment is the exact concept for the carport. We are currently considering whether a flat-roof carport with green roofing might be an ecologically valuable alternative that could also look quite nice.
My wife and I are both convinced that we have read that an outbuilding with green roofing does not(!) have to be included in the floor area ratio and virtually serves as a compensation area. That would give us a nice side effect of some leeway regarding the floor area ratio for future small things.
Unfortunately, we cannot find any firm regulations or legal texts on this anywhere; and we wonder why we think that green roofs do not count towards the floor area ratio. We must have gotten that from somewhere, but we have been searching for days without finding anything concrete.
Or is it perhaps something that has to be clarified individually with the building authority?
We would be happy if you could enlighten us on this. :)
Best regards,
Lennart
