How to obtain an exemption from the development plan?

I think I will just call the gentleman from the LRA again and follow up to see if there really is no possibility and mention the first house on the street again.

That's how we'll do it Cost-optimized construction is what almost everyone wants here – not everyone has money to spend lavishly. By the way, I also can't understand the KfW40 idea Until the floor plan discussion then

Yes, you can assume that 95% of builders plan every euro exactly and try to save wherever possible. We are quite allergic to statements like:

I "tick" a bit differently than most people. I always try to save money when possible. But without compromising on quality that is important to me. However, that often looks different than for other people.

Because everyone thinks that way, and that's why no one is different.

If it really should be minimalist and as cheap as possible, we will tell you what the cost drivers are. For example, a major cost driver is arguing with the authorities or even trying to obtain an amendment to the development plan. Someone in our village did that too. I think it cost about 6K.

That's how we do it
Almost everyone wants to build cost-optimally here – not everyone has plenty of money.

I look forward to your opinion when I put it up for discussion

we are pretty allergic to that.

I know
However, it really applies to me, as I keep noticing.
Who has such a garden, as I mentioned above? Most are satisfied with 500 sqm.
Some wouldn’t agree to, for example, shifting the property boundary because 750 sqm is enough for them. I really want it so that I at least still have 900 sqm, which for me is already rather at the lower pain threshold.
We also renovated the two-family house mostly by ourselves. Here is the thread from back then (unfortunately the pictures were deleted):

Many here think so as well. For me, however, it is a must!
I would build very well insulated anyway and want controlled residential ventilation. That way I can also build according to KfW40 right away and take the subsidy.

So that’s why I stick to it, I am not standard

Thank you! I will report back on what came out of it. But yes... I’m slowly fearing it will probably stay with the development plan.
I keep reading that people are allowed to deviate from it. The lady from the municipality also said she’s okay with it. She mentioned the cost level of 2 per mille for an exemption, which would really be manageable. But apparently it really depends on the respective caseworker and the gentleman at the district office probably does not want that.

Who already has a garden like the one I mentioned above.

For example me. 2100 sqm. And having the other smaller property usually is not due to laziness to maintain it, but because the money for more is not enough.

Then you also don’t meet the standard (at least when it comes to the property)
I don’t really believe that most people only care about money. I think most are simply satisfied with 500-600 sqm and don’t want to take care of too much garden.

Well, it doesn’t matter. I can only say that in many respects I am not standard and I keep realizing that in this forum as well. But that’s okay. You just have to assert yourself against the usual opinion more often. But that will work out

But that will work out

Give it a try.
