Land purchase: Buildable according to: like neighboring development?

Hello,

I am currently looking for a plot on various real estate agent websites.
and I keep coming across the descriptions:

Buildable according to: like neighboring development
buildable on short notice, buildability according to § 34 Building Code

What does that mean exactly? I am planning to build a modern style house with a flat roof. Does that mean if there are only houses with gable roofs in the neighborhood, I definitely will not get permission for a flat roof house?
or do other factors also play a role?

Hello,

Does that mean if there are only houses with gable roofs in the neighborhood, I definitely will not get permission for a flat roof house?

Exactly.

Kind regards

Hello,

...Buildable according to: like neighboring development
buildable in the short term, buildability according to § 34 Building Code
What exactly does that mean? I plan to build a house in a modern style with a flat roof. Does that mean if only houses with pitched roofs stand in the neighborhood, I definitely will not get approval for a flat-roof house?

Not quite, because § 34 allows more or less large leeway, i.e. it is always a case-by-case decision.
Make it easy for yourself and let the real estate agent clarify this bindingly, or consult the responsible building authority. If there is a verbal agreement there, follow up with a building inquiry and everything will be fine.

Best regards

Hello,

Not entirely, because § 34 allows more or less large leeway, i.e. it is always a case-by-case decision.

I would like to have such leeway once. In reality, a permit that deviates from the existing neighboring buildings in conjunction with § 34 probably belongs to the realm of winning the lottery with an additional number; but of course it may be that things work differently in the Rhineland.

Make it easy for yourself and have the realtor clarify that bindingly or go to the responsible building authority. If there is an oral approval there, follow up with a building enquiry and everything will be fine.

He will not get a written statement anyway, not even the realtor. However, in some cases - it crucially depends on the attitude of the person in charge - it is possible through frequent visits to the responsible decision-maker, i.e. close coordination, to save the additional effort of a preliminary building enquiry. Whether this will result in a different roof pitch, however, remains doubtful.

Best regards
