Hanging house in the Southwest Palatinate - Our House Construction 2.0

Didn’t get any elevations, we also had a clearance procedure here, maybe that’s why.
But it wouldn’t help anymore anyway, as major changes have already been made to the elevations.

No problem. I took them from the south view. Where did the planner get the elevations from?

I hope the elevations are still correct at the boundary.

I don’t believe the heights in the view are binding. But I’m not sure. I would like to have a fence on the border, but probably only in the second step. Whether that is still within the budget is unclear.

I also brought up the issue with my contractor and will talk to him in the next few days to see if he thinks there is anything that needs to be done for safety reasons or if it can stay as it is for now. As I understood him last, his current slope installation is okay for the time being. The desire to change something about it only came from our wish to create beds for vegetables / shrubs / berries there. That’s why we would like to have it somewhat enclosed and have a simple staircase or steps to be able to walk down properly.

You can do something like that. The concrete blocks a bit further apart.

Possibly like this.

Possibly only in the partial area. Where it is steepest or only where the terrace will go. That can be done well DIY.

Important point, but there will hardly be a sewage connection there. So install a soakaway pit? Or could a pond be installed at the lowest point of the property to catch surface water? Assumption: Without construction measures in the lower part of the property, it probably won't work

Don't exaggerate. The water also used to run down the slope before. The L-shaped stones rather prevent the water from immediately flowing to the neighbor.

L-shaped stones can't work miracles either; slopes almost always require complex measures (which financially affect the properties higher up). Of course, one wants to stay within reasonable limits, and I also mentioned involving those affected in the planning. It is not necessarily the case that the one on the most expensive property insists on it. Nevertheless, their protection has priority over a pure garden and landscaping discussion.

Didn't get any with elevations, we also had an exemption procedure here, maybe that's why. But it wouldn't help anymore anyway, since strong changes have already been made to the elevations.

Oh, especially when it’s about the waterproof ;-) proof with the exemption, that it was built in accordance with the development plan (and the drainage situation has not worsened compared to the original site).

Oh, since it is precisely about the waterproof ;-) proof for the cutout, having built according to the development plan (and not worsening the drainage situation compared to the original terrain).

I assume my general contractor did that without further discussion. The official documents show both the previous and the planned terrain layout. They wouldn’t have made that up, and at least to my layman's eye, it matches what was seen here back then.
