The illustration from post #44 is not from the development plan but from the marketing advertisement. Unfortunately, I cannot find the development plan. Show us the excerpts from the development plan that relate to the design. Text and plan.
Since links are not allowed here, I can unfortunately only refer to a Google search for "Bebauungsplan 8-23 bocholt loikumer weg." Attached is an excerpt from the development plan as well as, in my view, the particularly relevant textual stipulations.
[*]2 full floors as the maximum
[*]0.4 floor area ratio, 0.8 floor space index
[*]Plinth height max. 0.5m, eaves height max. 6.5m, ridge height max. 11.0m
F 3 Height of structural installations (§ 9 para. 1 no. 1 Building Code in conjunction with § 16 para. 2 and § 18 para. 1 Building Use Ordinance)
(see assignment in the development plan)
The maximum allowable plinth height refers to the height of the intersection of the outer edge of the rising
masonry of the respective building structure with the top edge of the finished floor slab on the ground floor (top edge of the finished floor). If the
ground floor consists of levels with different heights, the highest level is decisive.
The maximum allowable eaves height (EH) for a building with a gable roof and the correspondingly considered parapet height
for a building with a flat roof (FR) refers to the height of the intersection of the roof covering with the outer edge
of the rising masonry of the respective building or upper edge of the parapet in the case of a building with a flat roof.
An eaves height exceeding the maximum allowable can be permitted if it arises from a floor plan of a building structured by recesses or projections.
Its length is limited to a maximum of 1/3 of the eaves length of the respective
building side, measured between the outer walls of the respective building.
The maximum allowable ridge height (RH) for a building with pitched roofs or the height of the parapet for a
setback floor refers to the highest point. Skylights and glass roofs as well as technical building equipment, such as
air heat pumps or solar collectors, photovoltaic systems may exceed the upper edge of the parapet in a building with a
flat roof by a maximum of 0.75 m.
F 9 Roof pitch
Above the second or third full floor, flat roofs or shed roofs with a roof pitch of 22° to 30° are permitted.
Alternatively, setback floors with a flat roof or a gently pitched roof up to 16° are permitted; garages, carports
and ancillary facilities according to §§ 12 and 14 Building Use Ordinance are only allowed with a flat roof.
F 11 Dormers
Dormers, roof structures, and loggias are prohibited.
Ultimately, this leads to the illustration you posted here from the exposé/website concerning the possible house types.
Not only clarify what is possible but primarily what one can and wants to pay.
That was exactly my intention, namely to get an idea here regarding the price/performance of the individual house types. Since we would like to build on a slab due to soil conditions, I see the biggest issue as reasonably accommodating the space requirements including storage space. With a converted attic, in my view, you can accommodate well-accessible storage space there as well as, for example, the office, thus gaining reasonable space on the ground and upper floors to place the building services plus family-friendly wardrobe, storage room, etc. Honestly, I find that missing in many standard floor plans. Without a converted attic, you would probably simply have to increase the floor area.
I suspect that the requirement can ultimately be met most budget-friendly in a 1.5-story house with a steep gable roof and converted attic, or am I wrong? How do you see a two-story house with a shed roof (required pitch is 22-30°), where you could also accommodate an office/storage space on the high side of the attic? Visually, this is still something I find difficult to get used to because of the really massive front in my mind.
