House and floor plan planning - First architect's plan is available

What I find unfortunate in this context is that building authorities do not just call briefly and say what should be changed, but it immediately becomes complicated for a layman like me with deadline setting, hearings, etc.

If they "just call briefly," they would only be making phone calls. You are not the only one. Furthermore, you would have nothing in hand. And what you now want changed, whether no driveway at all because of symmetry and a completely different design because you now don't want this and that either, you have to figure out yourself. The building authority is not an advisor but is supposed to provide you with facts.

wish for other changes again or did I misunderstand and do they immediately list all criticism points and necessary changes?

see above.

I already advised on the double carport right at the beginning.

Not wanting to comply with a building envelope????

I still believe the planner is (not) an EXPERT. Shaking my head.

Why didn’t you upload the plans again before submitting? Or make a preliminary building inquiry beforehand?

5 months have passed. Without success.

I already advised the double carport right at the very beginning.

Well, I wanted it to be nicely symmetrical, now it just has to be different.

Not wanting to comply with a building envelope????

That was the information from a caseworker at the building authority, that we are allowed to move the house further back.

5 months have passed. Without success.

Unfortunately, yes.

The two driveways are not allowed, so we will forego one of the two driveways.

Oh, so the house will no longer be flanked by two solarium carports?

Oh, isn’t the house now flanked by two solarium carports?

You will remember that I already dismissed that immediately after your hint. ;-)

That was the information from a clerk of the building authority that we are allowed to move the house further back.

In writing or by phone? ;)
