Hello,
we are currently looking at plot number 55 from the attached site plan. At the moment, it is an old sports field, and the plots are still being developed and prepared. We visited the site to take a look. The concern is about the slope and the symbols indicating usage boundaries, etc.
I spoke with the seller, and he said that you could easily gain or level out about 4.5 meters (15 feet), though not all of it, because there is a neighboring plot below for infiltration purposes and a green belt has to be maintained as well. However, I am not sure what is actually realistic and especially what additional costs we need to plan for, since this is already at the upper limit of our plot budget.
You can see that it slopes quite steeply down – the seller mentioned something about using 1-meter (3 feet) L-shaped retaining walls being allowed, but I’m not sure if that is a requirement or just his advice. What do you think? What options are there? Maybe one or two more terraced levels? It doesn’t all have to be at the highest level on top.
What do these circles mean? According to the legend, they mark usage boundaries. Does that mean nothing can be done there, or that it probably has to be planted?
Even if you have a plan, you still have to buy everything, and it can be rejected again during the building permit / planning permission process, right? How can you be sure before buying that you can do what you’re planning?
Thanks in advance!!!

How can I tell the total allowed length of the house? And is it allowed for the house to extend beyond 8.5 meters (28 feet) sideways due to a bay window, or can it only be a maximum of 8.5 meters (28 feet) wide everywhere?All of this is specified in the zoning plan or the written regulations for the lot; if it is permitted.Why don’t you finally find a consultant you trust? Saving money in the wrong place is always bad advice! Many of your questions are not that easy to answer, or you are simply out of luck that Dirk or other experts are not online!

What are the purchase prices per square meter like in your area? 370 sqm (approximately 3980 sq ft) is really a joke. The 3-meter (10 ft) setback to the neighbor surely isn’t just a formality everywhere. So the house can be 8.5 meters (28 ft) wide. The length will probably be around 12 to 14 meters (39 to 46 ft). So you won’t be able to fit a bungalow on that 🙂 The zoning plan will definitely specify what you are allowed to build there.

In my opinion, for such small plots, it is especially important to know how much of the land is actually allowed to be built on.

Or how can you be sure before buying that you can do what you have in mind?Everything is specified in the zoning plan. If there is any uncertainty, a professional architect can help.
