Dear Forum,
Since our preferred building area is no longer available due to planning issues or will be significantly delayed, we have started looking for new plots near Berlin.
After months of searching, we have finally found a suitable plot.
We are now wondering where the house should be roughly positioned on the lot.
Information:
Plot size: 608 m² (6540 sq ft)
Slope: yes, on the northeast side
Building setback and boundary: 3 m (10 ft) from the neighbor
Edge development: permitted for garages, carports, sheds
Parking spaces: 1–2
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Height limit: none
I have roughly drafted a layout plan by hand:
We have already marked the house on it. However, we are unsure:
1. Does the house make sense in this position?
2. Should we choose a rectangular footprint instead of a townhouse style?
What are your thoughts?
Thank you very much for your advice!

I would also prefer to reverse in so that I can drive forward when leaving.At least then you can quickly drive forward out if the neighbor behind wants to leave 😉M

What do the neighboring buildings look like? Here is an overview from both Google Maps and a photo we took from the dune over the weekend. Unfortunately, this dune is protected. It is a registered archaeological monument. Although all the trees will be completely removed, the dune’s dimensions may not be altered... and therefore no house may be built on it.

I would also move the house as far as possible to the east to ensure enough distance to the neighboring house on the west side. In my proposal, it is at least 17 m (56 feet).
Who is responsible for the construction of the access road to the northern lots? To be honest, we are not happy with our current plan either. The house will be elongated, that’s certain. I will try to create an updated plan shortly. However, because of the dune, we cannot move too far west.
The entire project is managed by a developer. They own the plots and also build the houses. We have been wanting to build with this developer for two years, so that part is settled.
The developer is responsible for the overall project, including preparing the land for building permits/planning permission, tree removal, infrastructure up to the utility rooms of the houses, as well as the construction of the access road. Of course, they are also responsible for building the houses, and all of this is included in the pricing.

Matthias_121225 Feb 2021 16:03I revisited the planning and tried to incorporate your suggestions.
The house is now elongated. The dune is marked. The house is positioned further east. The carport is closer to the driveway.
It is possible to drive forward into the carport in one continuous move.
However, I am not sure how to position the carport to also allow reversing into the driveway.

The house is now rectangular.Is Eight by Eleven point Thirty-Five now an actually "planned" house or just the automatic dimensioning of a random rectangle?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

But thanks for the explanation. I was wondering the whole time why they don’t just load this "dune" onto a semi-trailer and haul it away.Similar topics
