Neither.
Plan properly and well and use materials other than stoneware on surfaces where you are close to the allowed area. We have already advised you several times not to pave everywhere for various reasons.
Don’t rile up the building authority with inquiries – later they might want to check everything and complain about your fences.
I completely agree with you. One thing I admit is that I will build the terrace smaller as discussed here in the thread with the recommendations and also with alternative paths that are not counted. The problem is, I already have a large (for me) plot. I cannot build a pool, garden house, or terrace on 50m2 because everything would be too small or not feasible at all, or if you look very closely, we also have a strip in front of the homeowner’s property that is 1m wide and runs along the house, paved, while in the plans it is marked as green.
I agree with everyone who is against too much paving. However, I still have to say that, for example, we are the end house and share the street with the other two parties as a private road. There should be two beds. One I can understand, it is in one place, it doesn’t bother anyone. The other we did not build, I only noticed it now. That would be a bed practically in the middle of the driveway, turning would be difficult, and it would hardly be possible to get in because it would be narrow on both sides. It’s hard to explain. But that is on the communal area, so if an inspection comes, we all have a problem. With this bed, I would even go to court, it’s outrageous that there should be a bed there, it would significantly complicate access.
What I want to say is that building authorities also overdo it. The problem is that often people still build more and bigger, but here we have the mentioned neighbor and also a very modest building authority.
I have already called and asked, and the lady said it would all be no problem and that I should build, but I wanted a legally secure statement that is binding and (after long back and forth) I should submit a building inquiry. Neighbors further down the street have already reported that their construction company, like ours, paved too much on the communal area, and it was done there too. Now the building authority had drones flying over the gardens and they complain. Now the neighbors’ garage roofs should be greened differently as compensation and an area possibly demolished that is used as parking space. (There are no parking spaces in town) but the main thing is to tear down.
I will reconsider the terrace as discussed here, alternatives, etc., but with just under 50m2 and only terrace and walkway, garden house and pool, the 50m2 would also quickly become built upon...
Therefore, the consideration would be whether to get a permit and then surely be allowed to exceed a little, maybe not as much as at first but a bit. Of course, I don’t want to wake sleeping dogs, but my neighbor will awaken them, or rather they let people build first and come later... and make them tear down.
I would most like to have the permit to build a bit bigger, for which I would later crown the garage roofs or plant 2 more trees as compensation, the neighbors would have to do the same because their properties are very small and it was unreasonable, so I wonder why the same does not apply to me.
