Hi,
We received our building permit / planning permission two weeks ago. It includes a recommendation to raise the house by an additional 25 cm (10 inches), but this is only a suggestion. However, it is a bit unsettling. Currently, the plan is for the finished floor level to be 15 cm (6 inches) higher than the street level. I actually thought this would be enough. The street is about 10 m (33 feet) away and slopes down towards the opposite side of the street.
What do you think about this?

So they have no grounds to object.
But by now, I am also totally confused. Actually, I don’t want to do it at all, but I already feel almost compelled to.

I know it’s a bit much, but maybe it makes more sense now. Maybe you could sketch it out – you can compress the width scale.
As far as I understood it from the text, I find your perspective more reasonable. Personally, I wouldn’t want to live on a levee. More floor height means, with a level exit, also a higher terrace; and you don’t want a slope there, so basically it becomes a full-scale embankment.
On the other hand, two things give me pause: first, that authorities usually issue warnings mainly for liability reasons. And second, that

My solution would probably be to keep the planned height and, if the rest of the area gets raised later on, retrofit gutter channels and a buffer tank.
At some point, it’s enough with the nightmares about what can still happen just before a construction project is completed.

In principle, it is already like that now.
But still within limits.
And yes, there will already be one step from the terrace.
