ᐅ Garage Location on the Property, Requirements in the Development Plan (Building Permit / Planning Permission)

Hello everyone,
In our development plan, the location drawing roughly indicates the position of the house and garage. For better south/west orientation, we would prefer to place the garage on the right side of the house instead of on the left. Before commissioning a homebuilder, we would like to know if this is possible. The text section of the development plan does not specify any restrictions on this. Perhaps there are forum members with experience in such changes/deviations from the development plan (plot 78).

Although your development plan, in my view, interprets the planning drawing regulation somewhat unconventionally, I would not consider the symbolic illustrations to be so binding that you would need a formal exemption to make this change. However, I interpret the red lines at the light green lines near the gables of the house symbols as building lines, meaning the developer apparently requires a consistent facade alignment for the houses (both the first and the second row). Therefore, your garage could likely be moved to the upper side of the house on the plan—but the house itself may not shift towards the "bottom" of the plan. [Attached, I have transferred your plan excerpt from the "hijacked" thread here.]

"Before commissioning a home builder" sounds to me a bit like you intend to rely on the somewhat questionable assistance of a supplier’s own draftsman, which I would advise caution about. It is a pity that despite your commendable completion of the questionnaire, you have not shown the house design as well.

The red and green lines are probably related to noise protection.

However, in the roof drawings, I notice a strong focus on optimizing for photovoltaic systems.

I had to pay 700 euros to the district office for a similar deviation from the building plan and had to wait 8 weeks for the approval.

I took a look at it on the map. It seems that almost any deviation is possible in the building area.
There is a height difference of 2.2 m (7.2 ft) diagonally across the plot, and inside the building itself, it is about 90 cm (35 inches).

However, I interpret the red lines alongside the light green lines at the gables of the house symbols here as building lines, meaning the plan issuer apparently wants a uniform building alignment for the façades (both the first and the second rows of houses). Therefore, your garage could probably be moved to the upper side of the house according to the plan—but the house itself would not be allowed to shift downward on the plan.

“Before commissioning a house builder” sounds to me somewhat like you want to entrust yourselves to one of the often questionable in-house draftsmen, which raises a slight question mark in my view. By the way, it’s a pity that, despite your commendable completion of the questionnaire, you didn’t show the house design as well.

This is how we would like it. Unfortunately, I could only draw a gable roof in the program, but it is supposed to be a hip roof.
