Land use for semi-detached houses or halves of semi-detached houses

One question about your version: Wouldn't you have problems with the long slopes on the sleeping floor and lose space? (Assuming a ridge direction parallel to the street)

Sorry, but I don't have the development plan of your building area nor do I know the neighboring buildings. That's why I don't know what is allowed. If you are allowed to build a full floor on each level, you won't lose anything.

You quickly get into the details with such a plan and need all the information:

There is a rumor that several users here in the forum can read development plans

For our area where the property is located, there is no development plan. So we have to fit into the surroundings. As a layperson, unfortunately, you cannot assess what exactly that means and what restrictions result from it.

Obviously, that is not something I can do either. I assume that we are not allowed to build two full floors, but only 1 or 1.5. Because none of the neighboring buildings have 2 full floors. Let’s say all the surrounding houses have gable roofs with a slope of about 45°. Would you then fit in if you choose a roof pitch of, say, 28°? .. We can only get an answer to this from the building authority via the building application, and otherwise an architect would have to tell us. This will probably remain an open point until detailed planning with a provider.

It probably remains an open question until a detailed plan is made by a provider.

Well, how strict your municipality is, only someone on site knows. For some, it is enough if you build a gable roof and do not go higher than the others. Others say it must remain strictly single-story. With others, they even specify the roof color. Many things are possible there.

A lot is possible there.

Exactly, and without this information, further planning is rather difficult. Maybe we just ask regional architects if they would carry out such an assessment for a fee.

what exactly that is supposed to mean

... cannot really be said either, because the neighboring houses are not exactly the same. What the integration requirement refers to is stated precisely in the law: - type of structural use (residential area ... industrial area) - extent of structural use (utilization of the property based on floor area ratio and floor space index, eaves and ridge heights, number of storeys) - construction method (open, closed, deviating) - property area to be built upon (actual building boundaries / lines) The determination of the relevant dimensions in the neighboring development is again imprecise.

gable roof

... is not subject to the integration requirement

not higher than the others

... belongs to the extent of structural use and is an essential criterion, more important than the number of storeys

necessarily single-storey

... also belongs to the extent of structural use, but must be considered from an urban planning perspective. It is not about the exact calculation according to the state building code, but rather about the effect.

roof color

... is not subject to the integration requirement

a lot is possible there.

It’s not really that much.

without this information further planning is rather difficult.

What do you want to do differently than the neighbors?

Giving up garages would definitely be good for our budget.

Hello

Giving up a garage? For me, a no-go!
Maybe integrate a garage into the basement. Make the house a bit wider for that.
