Hello everyone,
We are currently focusing heavily on searching for a plot of land. Two new residential areas are being developed nearby. I refer to them as "lower" and "upper" so you don’t get confused 😉
Plot A:
- quiet location
- all flat and level
- very nice atmosphere due to a small river and bike path
- generally lower price per square meter (sq m)
- neighbors on all sides (see image)
- uncertain regarding sunlight exposure and possible shading?
Plot B:
- slight slope (additional costs due to leveling, etc.)
- no neighbors at the back or on the right side
- unobstructed southwest-facing view
- possible odor / farming activities as we are right next to a field
- possibly higher price per square meter (sq m)
Both plots have pros and cons... we are really unsure. The lower plot has a very nice location since it is flat and quiet. The feeling is very pleasant. However, we are concerned about sunlight exposure, as we fear we might get little sun due to the neighboring houses. What do you think?

Do you know a good one? I have tried a few but haven't found any good options. Also, I’m worried that the houses next to us will cast shadows on us. Which county is it?

that we are a bit wary of the city since our apartment back then was completely dark. I can understand that!

We are worried that with A, we might get too much sun because of the orientation and the other houses. Is this concern realistic or are we overthinking it? I also always check and pay attention to that...

I have inserted another picture here with the same orientation as A But I don’t want to spend the whole morning trying to compare both plots. It should work in a 5-minute break over coffee, like others here have done. And that’s what I’d like to do.
You have now introduced a third orientation, in the original post it’s upside down and right side up. Objectively, it’s simply not possible like this. My only tip would be to start fresh, with a scale, the plot width, and reference to main and side streets. North is at the top 😉
What about the building regulations? Are two-story houses allowed? Or is there a ridge height limit?

North is up 😉
...*thumbs up* 🙂Based on such simple sketches, I find it quite difficult, if not impossible, to provide a proper assessment. Other factors should also be taken into account.

I always pay attention to these details as well...
But I don’t want to spend the entire morning figuring out how to compare both plots. It should work, like it does for others here, in a five-minute coffee break. And that’s what I’d like to do.
You’ve now introduced a third orientation; the original post had north at the top and bottom respectively. Objectively, that just isn’t possible right now. My only advice is to start over with a scale, plot width, and reference to main and side streets. North should be at the top 😉
What about the building design? Are two-story houses allowed? Or is there a maximum ridge height? Thank you for your opinion and perspective. In the second draft, I copied the development plan exactly, so I don’t quite understand your line of thought. However, the other opinions have generally helped me. Thanks!

District Bitburg-PrümI can’t enter a link here.
Try searching for Rheinland-Pfalz in 3D.
There, enter your location in the search bar. Then scroll to your preferred building plot.
In the top right corner, there is a toolbox icon. Click on it and then select shading.
This allows you to see the shadow cast at different times of the year and day. You can also check for shadows from possible neighboring houses, as long as they are included in the geoportal.
