Hello dear forum members,
my husband and I have found a plot of land that we really like, but we are not sure whether our project can be realized there. I am a psychotherapist and we would like to build a house in which a practice could be integrated. This means specifically: a room with a maximum of 20 sqm and a guest toilet either in the basement or on the ground floor of the house, separated from the rest of the living space. It would be an appointment-only practice, i.e. only one patient comes at a time (so there are no 10 cars of waiting patients in front of the house).
The plot is located in a general residential area, i.e. normally practices are allowed there as long as the residential character of the house is maintained.
Now we have requested the development plan and it says the following:
1.1 Art der baulichen Nutzung (§ 9 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 Baugesetzbuch)
1.1.1 Allgemeine Wohngebiete WA 7 und WA 8 (§ 4 Baunutzungsverordnung)
Within the general residential areas WA 7 and WA 8, the following facilities that can be approved according to § 4 Abs. 2 Baunutzungsverordnung, according to § 1 Abs. 5 Baunutzungsverordnung in conjunction with § 31 Abs. 1 Baugesetzbuch, are not part of the development plan:
Facilities for religious, cultural, social, health and sports purposes.
The following facilities that can be exceptionally approved according to § 4 Abs. 3 Baunutzungsverordnung are not permitted according to § 1 Abs. 6 Baunutzungsverordnung in conjunction with § 31 Abs. 1 Baugesetzbuch:
other non-disturbing commercial enterprises,
facilities for administrations,
horticultural businesses,
gas stations.
Does this now mean that a practice is not possible? Has anyone had experience with exceptions from the development plan? We have already contacted the building authority, but so far no one has answered our question and we are afraid that someone might snatch the plot away from us.
Thank you and best regards,
Chriju
