Hello,
attached is the housing development where we will be applying soon. You can list up to six plots of land in a prioritized order. There are generally more applicants than available plots, so we are wondering whether we should adjust our priority list to improve our chances...
We are planning a 1.5-story captain’s house with about 170 m² (1,830 sq ft) and a long garage.
The plots marked in red are designated for semi-detached houses, and the blue one is already reserved for a terraced house. The area to the left of the development will be reforested. Our list:
Since we have never been at this stage before, I am not sure which aspects I am currently overlooking due to lack of experience. Thank you very much for your input.

WilderSueden13 Mar 2021 19:12A 2.5m (8 feet) driveway is sufficient for cars, although it’s quite tight. However, during the construction phase, this will likely cause problems when maneuvering heavy equipment. A mobile crane and semi-trailer carrying prefabricated components will be quite a show for the neighbors—and your fence might get damaged 😉

I have now contacted the seller to find out exactly how this is planned.I’ve been really curious ever since I first saw those strange plot access points. It seems like it was designed by some brilliant theorist who must be a fan of M.C. Escher and A.F. Möbius (and I suspect it’s only your inquiry that will make them realize how flawed their idea actually is).https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

But I actually can't imagine that, because the neighboring properties only have a 2.5 m (8 ft) wide access to their plots.I actually see it this way: they have the path and the 2.5 m (8 ft). So, 5 m (16 ft) in total.B

In general residential areas, a maximum of one (1) driveway per building plot is permitted, with a maximum width of five (5) meters (16 feet).
Let's see what response we get.

I have reviewed all the documents. The "mouthpiece" is already registered in the development plan with access and utility easements for public use. I spoke with the surveyor, and it was definitely planned to allow the neighboring properties to pass through plot 27. That results in 3m x 9m = 27 m² (about 290 sq ft), which is roughly $10,000 taken off the land price, but is essentially completely unusable for us. Now we are a bit unsure what to do about it. We would like to buy the property because all our other requirements are met, but this concerns me somewhat—mainly because I have no idea what it ultimately means in terms of costs, responsibilities, and liabilities.
Do you think it’s possible to negotiate the price with the seller?
