New construction project single-family house in the Bergisches Städtedreieck

There is a positively decided preliminary building inquiry.

Very good. Has it not expired yet?

Here the question of the roof shape arises... in the surroundings there are only gabled roofs. But we want a city villa with a hipped roof. I am curious whether that will be possible.

The roof shape is not a criterion for integration according to §34. Since there is a qualified development plan to the south, two-story buildings to the north, something undefined on the other side of the street, and open countryside to the east, it will probably be difficult for the approval authority to define integration features. So if residential development was basically approved, nothing should stand in the way of your request.

I prefer option no. 1, since we then already have a landscaped garden behind the house on the east side

The elephant will like it, since you are thereby saying no to the double garage.

@Escroda You have now placed the houses quite far to the west. Because of the length of the lines or why?

Otherwise hardly any usable garden would remain.

Yes, the building inquiry is still valid. But it expires at the end of the year. And to come back to the double garage once more. You could place the double garage on the right around the corner directly after the driveway. There should be a parking space in the initial draft. But if the house could be moved back by about 2 meters, there would still be enough garden, right? How wide is a double garage actually?

What is enough is judged differently by everyone. Since you put the 8*14 design behind the garden argument, the answer would have to be "No."

How wide is such a double garage actually?

At least 5m, but nobody builds that nowadays. Under 6m is by no means recommended.

Yes, I know. I need to take a closer look on site to see how far it would extend beyond the original hall. I have one more question regarding the [Mehrspartenschrank]. It is supposed to be placed soon in the small corner on the right side of the entrance. The appointment on site with the [Stadtwerke] is already scheduled. My question is, is this cabinet a must? Is there an alternative way to manage without the cabinet?

Yes, I know.

What?

Ok. Plan for that?

The elephant will like it, since you are rejecting the double garage with it.

I have nothing against double garages, not even against connecting doors, and not generally against double-wide gates either. I just like to encourage the "breaking of taboo" to think about a garage itself, instead of uncritically copying supposed musts. And I am firmly of the opinion that the family deserves more in quality and size than just the space left over by the garage. America First, then the cars

How wide is such a double garage actually?

According to my recommendation, five and a half meters inside (with or without a central post), based on a shared driver door aisle, i.e. parking facing each other. Under other circumstances (as with a barrel roll aisle) accordingly more.
