Hello everyone,
Our new residential development is finally going on the market. We now have until mid-October to apply for a plot of land. We can provide a ranking of preferences, and the allocation will be decided based on social points (children, workplace, etc.), determining if and which plot we receive.
Our selection criteria are as follows:
- Space for a double carport with attached storage/workshop
- Not too many neighbors nearby
- Due to our budget, no larger than 650 sqm (7000 sq ft)
- Also, due to building regulations, a minimum size of 500 sqm (5400 sq ft)
There are only a handful of plots in the area that meet our requirements. All are located along the noise protection berm. We would include all of these on our wish list for the application, but the question is in what order.
Our top choice is either plot No. 4 or No. 1.
No. 4:
+ Located at the cul-de-sac
+ Largest plot area
+ Best orientation with the most west-facing sun
- Neighbors on both sides
- Possibly a longer driveway needed for the carport?
No. 1:
+ Neighbors on only one side
+ Use of the street as driveway access to the carport (short driveway on the plot)
- Area to the north will eventually also become a building zone
- Corner plot
- Possibly insufficient west-facing sunlight?
- Higher noise regulations
Although plot No. 4 has more advantages, we are currently leaning towards No. 1. Therefore, our question is: from your perspective, are there any important points against either of these plots? Do you have any experience with plots adjacent to noise berms?
Thank you very much for your help!

Actually, we do have that information too, like the orientation and so on. But I only received it on Sunday and seem to have overlooked it. Stupid carport...
But maybe something can still be adjusted. The house can’t be any narrower. And if necessary, two single carports. I need to check that again.
That’s what the forum is for after all. Sometimes even the best of us overlook things 😉
So, thanks for now!

Are there any better dimensions?Unfortunately not. But it seems that on the property we could only build the large carport with a very long driveway and place the carport in the northwest corner of the lot. Not really cost-effective either...
Then the house no longer fits. And as nice as a large carport would be, the house is more important to us and should not be built as a secondary priority. Although option number 4 is bigger, it seems more difficult to me to implement a carport there.
I will create a priority list together with my husband, and then we will decide. And maybe we will also hope for a better plot of land in five years...
