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!

And by then, we would have a king-size carport on plot 1 for shielding. Please mark on the plan where you see the king-size carport on plot 1. I don’t see it there.

Mark where you see the King Size carport on Plot 1. I don’t see it there. I feel the same. I also don’t quite understand why the husband immediately needs a double carport? A single one just for him alone would be something, too. 🙂
The husband "needs" a car lift for his second vehicle.
But I’ll skip drawing it out: we just went over the arguments again, and you’re right. The noise is too much of a concern for me, and I don’t want to deal with noisy motorcyclists for my entire life.
We are currently reviewing the zoning plan (building permit/planning permission) again and considering whether a simple carport with storage space might be sufficient.
Thank you very much for your opinions! You probably saved us from making a mistake. It will likely be a smaller, but more straightforward plot of land. Please keep your fingers crossed that our application is successful 🙂

We live here in a village, and I have never seen people from multi-family houses really get involved in the neighborhood. In my village, that’s not an issue. I lived for a long time on a street that was about evenly mixed—single-family houses (detached and semi-detached) as well as three-family houses arranged in a varied pattern; in another part of the street, there were even houses with one to six families. Could it be that in your village it’s more like this: the locals live in single-family homes, while newcomers live in multi-family houses?

Would it make sense to separate these needs? Maybe rent a barn or an old village smithy in a nearby town for working on the car, and simply use a regular parking space for everyday vehicle storage?

But with a low floor area ratio, you can’t place a 6x9 meter (20x30 feet) carport just anywhere.Normally, the carport including paths and driveway is not counted towards the floor area ratio but is treated separately as a “small floor area ratio.”
Somewhere in the floor area ratio regulations, there should also be a clause allowing the doubling of the floor area ratio for ancillary structures. This is how it is regulated in 90% of new development areas.

In general, building right up to the boundary is permitted for carports; I still need to double-check this for that specific spot...Yes, that is usually the case. Unless it is explicitly stated otherwise.

etc. But I only got this info on Sunday and seem to have missed it. Stupid carport...Think differently.
I see the double carport in the southwest corner with a short driveway. That way, the terrace is shielded from the street. This would make G2 and 3 very desirable.
