Hello everyone,
our municipality will soon be selling building plots in a new development area. We are currently trying to select the "best" plots... I know, that sounds very optimistic... but in the application we have to name 5 building plots that would be suitable for us.
Of course, the plots at the edges with an unobstructed view of fields and vineyards are the most sought after. Below I have attached a screenshot showing the 2 (in my opinion) best plots (the plan is oriented north). We would like to take advantage of the beautiful view and install a large window front (a kind of glass façade) on the west side. On the south side, we want a lift-and-slide door (about 400cm x 250cm (13 feet x 8 feet 2 inches)) – marked in red on the picture. The distance to the property boundary would be only about 5.5m (18 feet).
The house should be an Energy Efficiency House 40 (Effizienzhaus 40). My husband is a bit skeptical about the glazing on the west side. He thinks the window front should be on the south side – but there we would not have a free view...
There are also 3 plots with neighbors on the south side. The problem there is that the house would be positioned a bit lower and the free view would be about 1.5 to 2m (5 to 6.5 feet) above the single-family house. So, you would have to look upwards or plan the living room on the first floor.
What do you think? Would having the glazing on the west side be a deal breaker for an Energy Efficiency House 40? Textile sunshades are planned.
We intend to consult an energy advisor only after we have a confirmed allocation for a specific plot.
It is important for me to start thinking early about a potential building plot – with all the pros and cons...

My favorite is 2921
The protective embankment is intended to prevent surface water from flowing onto the properties.
The slopes are steep, and this concern cannot be dismissed. The drainage system makes sense and can, of course, fail during a heavy rainfall event. Hence, the embankment.
The municipality wants to use the building obligation to ensure that no alterations are made to the embankment.

By the way, my favorite, 2897, is no longer available. The builder who had to sell that plot to the municipality had the right of first refusal 🙁. I’ve mainly chosen 2896 and 2898 now.
...or should I change something after all?

...or should I change something after all? If construction continues to the west, then the once nice west side won't be quite as nice anymore.
My choice was the plot because it is relatively small and has large distances to the next buildings to the south and west.

My choice was the plot because it is relatively small and has large distances to the nearest buildings to the south and west.Yes, that is a valid point. The building plots are all relatively small—around 500 square meters (around 5400 square feet). Yes... considering the price...
For example, the one you selected has 465 square meters (about 5000 square feet).

The one you selected, for example, has 465 sqm (5,000 sq ft).The plot is within the inner development zone with a price of 290 euros. The slope in the building area is only 0.5 m (1.6 ft).How large are your favorite plots?
Is the builder exercising the right of first refusal also the owner of the land to the west?
