Hello everyone,
I am new here and have a question right away.
But first, a brief introduction.
I am 34 years old, and my wife is 29.
We have a daughter who is 17 months old. We would like to fulfill our dream of owning a home. We live in Düren, district Birkesdorf.
Now to the issue:
I am receiving a plot of land from my father with an area of about 1000 square meters (0.25 acres).
I would like to build there, but according to the development plan and the building authority, only a house with three floors is allowed.
My question is:
Is there possibly a way to build only two floors, or is it simply not permitted? The development plan dates back to 1965.
Because three floors are generally not an option for us.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello,
if the development plan does not specify anything about converting the attic, there is nothing preventing you from using the attic as a living space. Only 3 full floors are required.
What does the development plan say about the roof style, roof pitch, ridge height, and eave height? Maybe something can be deduced. I’m unable to upload the PDF file somehow.

This is not a multi-family housing area; the house next door, for example, is a single-family house... same for the one opposite. By "next door" and "opposite," do you mean houses 6 and 7 (which are in the two-story building block)? But from your property towards Eintrachtstraße, it seems to me that denser development is intended, and I consider house 13 to be a multi-family house. Houses 14 to 24 appear to be townhouses based on the aerial view.
At Eintrachtstraße (houses 57 to 63a), I get the impression that the full stories of the attics were created by excessive use of roof additions.

Sorry, but I can’t follow you. I don’t understand what you mean. Which part exactly?

Fairplay-Haus7 May 2019 21:11Yes, now things are a lot clearer. With a magnifying glass, it’s readable. A 25° roof pitch is too low to qualify as a full story, even with a 60cm (24 inch) knee wall. That’s probably why some neighbors have installed dormers. However, these can be exempted, as otherwise they wouldn’t be permitted. I would suggest consulting the building authority/planning office. If I have read the posts correctly, several neighbors have dormers.
Did they build three stories with a flat roof on top, or two stories with a flat roof and dormers on top?
