Hello everyone,

I have a question about the interpretation of a development plan.

What does "Eaves height: on the mountain side, 1 storey" mean?

The plot has a bit of a slope.
Does the above mean that you are only allowed to have 1 storey on the slope side even though otherwise the development plan specifies a maximum of 2 full storeys?

How is that supposed to look then? Building the ground floor into the slope so that only the attic (which we have planned with a 1.30 m knee wall) is visible above ground!?

Otherwise, the development plan looks OK to us; only the eaves height thing worries me because I don’t understand it.

2 full storeys, no specifications for the knee wall, ridge height 10 m, roof pitch 30-48°, floor area ratio 0.3 and plot ratio 0.6

Thank you

Hello,


Yes.


On the hillside, the roof rests on the ground floor ceiling, on the opposite side on a knee wall of 1.30 m or on the upper floor ceiling (maybe with some knee wall; depending on from where the building height is measured).

Rhenish regards

It reads to me as if you first chose a house - and now the plot?
What does the architect or the planner from the construction company say about the development plan?
Or is everything still in vague planning, and are there (still) no contacts?

This is not our desired plot but a Plan B that I am just beginning to consider.

For the desired plot, there is a preliminary contract with a corresponding right of withdrawal with a prefabricated house provider. I will also confront them with Plan B once I have prepared the whole thing a little or understood the development plan myself.



Finished height according to development plan: "nowhere more than 10m above the existing terrain"

But that confirms my fears that I cannot build on this plot as I had imagined :-(
Two-story with a 1.30m knee wall on the upper floor, without a basement and both floors above ground.

I really have to go there to see if the others have all built only one story on the slope side. I have never paid attention to this when passing by before.

I can’t imagine pulling the ground floor partially (the slope is on the right if you stand in front of the house) underground, and nothing else is probably required by the development plan. Leaving aside the daylight situation in the affected buildings, I also imagine that with the targeted prefabricated house that would be difficult. I don’t think the wooden walls will be built into the slope...

So still hoping even more for the desired plot....

"Eaves height: mountain side, 1 storey"

Could we normally build with a 1m or 1.30m knee wall in the attic (then actually the 2nd full storey) if we manage to push the ratio of the area in the attic >2.30m height to under 75% of the then expanded ground floor area through bay windows/annexes on the ground floor?

Surely this has to be calculated in detail, but roughly speaking, I come to 12-16 sqm more that the ground floor would need to get this ratio under 75% without changes to the attic. Of course, that also costs money, but such an external utility room and a living room bay window is at least not wasted money; compared to, for example, compensating for "zero" knee wall in a larger, more expensive house model with an overall larger floor plan and internal dwarf walls to make it habitable.

In detail, it is certainly a calculation exercise, also in connection with the floor area ratio (0.3) regarding the entire construction project, but theoretically it would be possible to build two-storey that way!?

These considerations are also a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation. Because even if it doesn’t work out with the desired plot, which doesn’t have these development plan problems... but others... then it still remains that the architect (prefabricated house provider) advises us only in a phase when we have already removed the reservation. And to remove it, we would have to secure plot Plan B (= be transferred from the parents -> already notary costs)
