Take the property or wait and accept the risk?

We now have our terrace on the south and west sides, and it is too hot for me on both sides in the summer. The nicest spot is on the east side, but there is "only" lawn there.
Friends have their terrace on the north side, but since the sun is so high in summer, they only have shade directly by the house. When they go further into the garden, they have sun all day at the back end of the property.
We have now deliberately planned our new house so that the main terrace is in the south, but shaded by an additional gable and roof overhang. On the east, we have a second terrace.

I would have taken a north-facing plot as well. I don't think that's bad at all – but I'm also not a sun lover.

Thank you first of all for the many ideas, experiences, and suggestions! Apart from a sunny spot in the garden... how is it with light and energy in the house? Does having a north-facing plot pose disadvantages? From the previous feedback, however, it seems that no one would reject the plot just because it is a north-facing plot.

Why should you get into trouble because of that? Usually, a house has at least 4 sides and only one of them is on the north side. You can, for example, plan so that the living room is on the west side of the house, then you can illuminate it from 3 sides (south, west, and north) and if you like, you can put a patio door and a small seating area on the south side (towards the street) – for sunny winter days.

The construction boundary should actually be the blue line, I think. So you only need to keep distance in the front, and of course always maintain the general boundary distances of 3 meters.
Therefore, you could set the house further back, but personally I wouldn’t push that just to be able to lay out the garden on the south side.

You could build the carport or plant a hedge as a privacy screen facing the street and mediate the house.
I would refrain from the standard window arrangement on a standard house. You can also plan large window surfaces in places that are not directly next to the main terrace. The west side is also a nice side for windows so you can feel the sun in the house after work.
I would create several terraces – exactly where you need them at different times of the day. The south side is too hot around noon anyway; in the evening, the northwest is suitable.

We would have also taken a north orientation if someone else hadn’t dropped out at short notice.

My plans for this were indeed a bungalow, but with lots of window fronts and a terrace in front (south) with hedge planning in front as well as privacy screening by the driveway to the side.

Someone is always looking at your terrace: whether it’s construction tourists or residents... or the neighbors. Thus, a terrace is usually framed directly by stones.

And you also have sun from noon on in the north. What will take the sun away from you (whether south or north orientation) are the neighboring houses to the left and right.

Edit: the blue line marks this dashed line, which should be explained in the legend. Thus, you should be able to recognize whether it is a building line or a construction boundary.

I have another point. You should - if possible - look at how your neighbors build. And especially where. Here in the new development area, almost all houses have their terraces facing south. But because of the location of the plots, most neighbors now look at the neighbor's garage wall from a distance of 5 meters.

Then better choose a more "unconventional" orientation and have a nice garden orientation. We have only 3 meters distance to our neighbor to the south. But we only have regular windows there (kitchen, dining room), so it doesn't bother me.
When we are finished with the garden landscaping, exactly there will be my "Naschgarten" with berry bushes and fruit trees.

Hello,


If the posted excerpt was taken from the development plan, the gray dashed line (small rectangle) marks the building boundaries within which you may realize your construction project, aligned with the eaves (point 2.3 Positioning of structural facilities for pitched roofs) towards the street.

§ 19 Land Use Ordinance, para. 4, items 1 - 3 still states as follows:

(4) When determining the ground area, the ground areas of

1. garages and parking spaces with their driveways,
2. ancillary facilities within the meaning of § 14,
3. structural facilities below the ground surface, by which the building plot is only underbuilt,
shall be included. The permissible ground area may be exceeded by up to 50 percent by the ground areas of the facilities designated in sentence 1, but not more than up to a floor area ratio of 0.8; further minor exceedances can be permitted. The development plan may contain provisions deviating from sentence 2. As far as the development plan does not specify otherwise, in individual cases the compliance with the limits resulting from sentence 2 may be waived
1. in case of exceedances with minor effects on the natural functions of the soil or
2. if compliance with the limits would lead to a substantial impairment of the appropriate use of the property.

Nevertheless, these figures are not binding for your construction project if you consider the notes on paving (2.1, 2nd paragraph) of the development plan. This means you may place the parking spaces/garages outside the building window.

Rhenish greetings
