Hello,
I’m looking for some opinions about a plot of land. We have received approval from the local authority and now need to make a final decision.
The plot is lower than the neighboring houses. At the back, it is almost 2 meters (6.5 feet) lower, and on the left side, one neighbor has a basement and has built a tall house.
The neighbors have not raised their plots, so for example, we would need to use retaining walls (such as L-shaped concrete blocks) to support the soil.
What do you think?

What is this awful neighbor development... the higher, the better, or how do you turn a two-story building into an optical four-story?
Why is the neighbor building a mound at the back? That’s called elite fill!
I guess some people must like it, well, you.
What does the zoning plan say? What is allowed to be built?
Am I correct in seeing in the sketch that the triangle corresponds to the front tip of the first photo? And the building envelope would then be more on the south side?
The area within the building envelope looks quite flat to me except for the front boundary. Isn’t that just a matter of some filling?... Personally, I would probably move the garden and terrace to the northeast. Still, some compensation windows on the south side.

You should also build your house and terrace slightly higher to prevent water from flowing inside. Never rely solely on drains... Personally, I would raise the ground level and probably build a basement. However, make sure that water cannot enter through the basement windows.
Terrible when people build such towers...
I would definitely make sure that your ground level roughly matches that of your neighbor. To the north, you might consider terracing the garden. If the local authority approves buildings like your neighbor’s, it shouldn’t be a problem for you either.

You really have to like that, or at least you do.
What does the zoning plan say? What is actually permitted to be built?
Am I right in seeing in the sketch that the triangle corresponds to the front tip of the first photo?
And the building zone would then be mostly on the south side?
From what I see, the plot within the building zone looks quite flat except for the front boundary. Wouldn't a bit of earthwork fix that?... Personally, I would probably move the garden and terrace to the northeast. Still, a southern compensation window. I agree… I’d be afraid that stuff would fall down. Who is responsible for starting to secure that slope? The neighbor or...?
