Hello,

my girlfriend and I are looking for a plot of land. We found the following:



We actually find the location very good. It is a village of 800 inhabitants. The large main village with 6000 inhabitants and good infrastructure is just over one km away. The commute to work is short and the next city is also less than 10 km away. The highway can also be reached within 5 km.
There are actually only two things that really bother us or that we have to get used to. First, red roof tiles. We could actually live with those without any problems. The other thing is that a country road runs along the small building area, which is only 100 m away. This gives me headaches, whether it might still be disturbingly noisy. See the development plan for this. Or are these just general regulations because the country road is so "close."
Currently, we live in the city and the highway is not even 500 meters away. But you practically don’t hear it or we just don’t hear it anymore.

Because of the country road and the location of the house on the plot, we tended towards number 5 and hope that you basically don’t notice the country road there anymore.

We have reserved the plot for now. Hmm, does anyone have an idea what would be best to do? Or are we just worrying too much?

Extracts from the development plan that bother me or make me very skeptical:

An assessment of the volume probably cannot be made by anyone here in the forum. You have to make your own assessment of the volume at different times on different days. Talk to the residents of the other houses. For our new house, proximity to the highway/country road was a disqualifying factor - our personal opinion. We had lived long enough in cities in the Ruhr area with a lot of noise and finally wanted peace (even though peace near a metropolitan area never occurs).

Hello,
we don't have such a point about the noise level... that means there must be a reason for it!
Take a day off and sit on the property for a picnic. Close your eyes to ponder ....during peak traffic hours, of course. Also check whether trucks often use this country road.
An hour between 5 and 6 pm would probably be bearable (same in the morning), but constant noise would have to be considered!

.. actually the following considerations should be decisive ....does the noise bother me, is an extension or enlargement of the country road planned, possibly later as a motorway feeder, can I sell my house without problems in an emergency or are there possibly then problems ...

We were on the property yesterday at 6:30 p.m. The nature and the birds were easy to hear. But the cars too. It wasn’t loud. But still present all the time. Possibly it will be softened by the future houses in front. But basically, about every 10 seconds a car goes by. The good or bad thing about the country road is that it leads exactly 3 km to the highway and is therefore a highway feeder. And I think that’s why there’s probably always something going on on this country road. But we didn’t see any trucks. Advantage: I can get anywhere quickly. Disadvantage: the high traffic :-( My girlfriend said that the noise doesn’t bother her. But I think she’s trying to talk herself into it because she wants to build soon. And I’m afraid that we might regret it later, even if everything else fits perfectly... :-(

If the noise bothers you, then you should carefully consider whether this plot of land is the right one. But take a look at other plots soon. Just see if these plots are better and if you can even find something that you think is optimal and if it still fits within your budget. It is often difficult to find a plot that
a) has the right size
b) the right orientation
c) centrally located or with short distances to shopping, schools, workplace, etc. etc.
d) quiet location
e) within budget
f) not yet taken

But still, one should be clear that the location is important. Even if it is going to be sold later.
