Hello everyone,
we are currently building a single-family house with a basement apartment.
Initially, our plan was as follows: You enter the basement via a staircase. There is an exterior entrance door in the basement. When you enter this door, you reach a kind of hallway. From this hallway, there is an entrance to the 3-room basement apartment and another entrance to the utility room.
However, since one of the apartment rooms could not be classified as a quiet/sleeping room due to its orientation, we relocated the door of this room to the "outside" towards the mentioned hallway and declared it as a cellar. Thus, it would only be a 2-room apartment and from the hallway you have 3 entrances: to the apartment, to the cellar, and to the utility room.
This is also how we submitted the building application, which was approved. Now, in hindsight, we think it would be more practical to move the door back into the apartment so that the room can be used as a 3rd room for hobbies, work, storage, or similar (not as a quiet/sleeping room). From a financial perspective, a 3-room apartment would be better than a 2-room apartment.
Could I move the door without any problems or would I have to apply for approval again? Getting approval would not be an issue, but I do not want to lose time since we are already behind schedule. And I also do not want to pay unnecessarily. It is practically just one door shifted by 2 meters, otherwise there is no change.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
