Hello everyone,
I have been a silent reader for a long time and have learned a lot here, great forum! Today I would like to ask something myself and please ask for help:
I live in a 120-year-old villa on a slope, not a listed building. The plot, about 1500 sqm, rises from south to north. Accordingly, there are balconies, large windows, a large garden to the south; the garden only has a gentle slope, and the basement apartment has a ground-level entrance there or on the side. On the east and west sides, the plot rises increasingly so that the natural ground level on the north side is just above the floor level of the ground floor. However, at the north wall, there is a kind of cleft around the house, like a ravine, so that the cellar rooms there still have barely small windows. The north wall of the house otherwise has no windows. This north slope is extremely fortified and very steep. The north slope can be climbed, so to speak, wild overgrown but with a few climbing and footpaths. The straight-line distance from the northern property boundary to the house wall is about 8 meters. The height of this property boundary is roughly at the floor level of the 1st floor, slightly higher. So, now the question:
I would like to build a large projecting balcony on the north wall, with a balcony door inserted into the wall so that the balcony would be accessed from the 1st floor. The balcony should be about 5 meters deep (and 5-7 meters long). After about 5 meters depth, the balcony would then reach the slope. Would that be allowed? So, the property boundary would still be about 3 meters away from the end of the balcony, and referring to the natural ground profile, the balcony at its end would practically be at height zero, like a terrace. How are the setback distances calculated in such a constellation? I am grateful for any tip! Best regards Anna
