Neighbor wants to plant a mountain maple

Clinker facades are strictly separated from modern style, modern style is separated from Bauhaus style.

How should one imagine this textually? Are 3 house types (clinker, modern, Bauhaus) described or defined in the development plan? How exactly do they record that? In our building area, the high-quality houses happen to be white, the cheaper ones tend towards yellow or light green. The jewel among the houses, however, is clinker-faced.

One could also say, everything has its time and fashion. In 10 years, everyone will be shaking their heads wondering how one could have been so stupid to paint wood (which has meanwhile turned gray to brown anyway) and to have set gray color accents by painting as a "contrast" to the also dark gray windows and roof tiles. Pure bunker. (My flat roof cube as well)

Hmm, the (for me) most attractive houses in the region are from the 60s, are white (though clad and painted) and have flat roofs: (chain row) bungalows were very popular back then and would probably still be built if the land weren't so expensive.

There is a) a development plan. b) The design framework was determined by the Klosterkammer (heritable leasehold properties). It is subdivided into three areas: traditional style, modern style, and Bauhaus style. The new development area is thus divided: in the south along a street layout the traditional bungalows (red brick, up to 1/3 other facade details allowed), in the middle the modern style as single-storey with all roof pitches, height up to 7.80, at least 2/3 white plaster, the rest of the facade may have other details, in the north the 1-2-storey Bauhaus houses, also 2/3 white, the rest can have other details.

In the development plan, actually everything single-storey is allowed. For the Bauhaus houses the single-storey requirement was relaxed.

Regarding the rest of the design: over the years everything is seen more and more flexibly.

My plastic facade will be eaten away by woodpeckers in 20 years anyway, so I don’t need to worry about leaking roofs, the hut will be ready for demolition by then.

Honestly, there is probably more truth to that than you might believe now. I have professionally dealt almost exclusively with industrial buildings with flat roofs. Leaks are more the rule than the exception after 10 years. And with our old house, built in 1997, we had to pay a surcharge on the building insurance from 2012 because of the flat roof. In fact, we also had 3 water damages from rainwater in 5 years because the plastic waterproofing no longer did its job. By the way, this was from 2007.

I fully agree with you. To put it in Karsten's words, just as there are different kinds of people, there are also different types of development areas for every sort.

That's not entirely true, we do have different development areas, but only where we are moving to now was it affordable. All the others would have the land at a MINIMUM of 450-500€ per sqm.

That's not quite right, we also have different building areas, but only where we are moving now was it affordable. All the others would have land prices of AT LEAST 450-500€ per sqm.

Yes, it fits you too – it's just the color of the money
