We are once again considering applying for plots.
To the east of the development area runs a relatively busy road at the town’s edge. From this road, you can enter the development area in the southeast (see image).
Plots 1 and 2 are accessed via the road above. Plot 2 is only accessible through plot 1.
To the southwest, there is a primary school and a playground.
The letter M marks the waste bin storage area for the semi-detached houses 3–6.
In the east, there is a former industrial site where groundwater has occasionally shown contaminant levels. Therefore, restrictions apply to groundwater extraction for plots 14–22, and stricter criteria regarding excavation depth apply for plots 16–22.
Regarding the house types:
Orange indicates classic two-story villas (9.5 m (31 ft) ridge height; 6.5 m (21 ft) eaves height)
Blue shows 9.5 m (31 ft) ridge height; 4.5 m (15 ft) eaves height
Purple with 6.5 m (21 ft) ridge height is not of interest to us
Light yellow with 11 m (36 ft) ridge height is not relevant due to the road
Our current thoughts:
We have decided on a single-family house, not a semi-detached. We tend to prefer the orange house type, but the blue is also acceptable.
The farther into the residential area, the less through traffic there is. We currently live in a neighborhood with only one access point, and for the first houses, the traffic is already quite annoying.
At the same time, to the west, we are farther from the former industrial site and the town-edge road.
Preferences are for plot 9 (located deep within the development area, garden facing west, slightly larger than 14 and 15), with the limitation that waste bins would be stored there. Then plot 2 (the largest plot with over 600 m² (6,460 sq ft), garden facing southwest), with the limitation that it is only accessible via plot 1 (we are unsure if this could be inconvenient) and there might be difficulty finding the connection to the rest of the neighborhood via the separate access road.
Then plots 14 and 15 (still sufficiently far from the road and former site), with the limitation that the garden faces east.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you.

The rotting organic and garden waste smells disgusting. This rarely happens if the lid is left slightly open for ventilation. Here in the neighborhood, we all use wooden wedges for that.
The only issue is grass clippings. But lawn owners usually take those to the compost site anyway, because the bin would fill up too quickly during the summer.
In our case, the bins are only brought in from the parking spot in the afternoon. The reason is people working during the day. That’s how it is for most. It doesn’t matter what the rules say.

We live on a “school route.” It’s not really a problem. Our dog is a bit triggered by the “talking hedge,” but that can be managed.
They are ours. And the bags of the others as well. The smell of rotting organic and garden waste is disgusting. The free dog waste bags you can take at the bins let the smell through. They are perforated so the bags don’t inflate and burst in the heat. And these end up right there, where residential houses have their gardens or on the opposite sidewalk. The bags I buy are leak-proof; I don’t want to carry smelly bags around on walks for half an hour.

We would build a carport on the north side, with a standby parking space in front of it (this is mandatory).

Mangolicious16 Jul 2024 11:52Unfortunately, we did not get a plot of land.
We are surprised because the number of children was the sole criterion for 50% of the available plots, and with two children, we actually had a good chance. It’s a pity.

Mangolicious1 Aug 2024 13:01Selected applicants were granted an extension for their decision until the end of August, according to the city’s statement, although a confirmation was originally required within one week.
The applicants must clarify their financing.
From our position compared to the other applicants (there were over 30 families who applied for the plots), this is quite frustrating. We’ll have to wait and see.
