Hello everyone!
I’m planning to build a new house.
It will be a single-family home (about 150m² (1,615 sq ft)) with a double garage.
I have registered for two plots of land, and the allocation decision will be made on Tuesday.
Favorite 1: Number 83
Favorite 2: Number 80
Since I built a house only six years ago, I have unfortunately moved to the bottom of the social housing priority list. Most likely, plot 83 will be taken before I get the chance (the marketer is still waiting for documents from other interested parties).
However, there are apparently no other interested parties for plot number 80, so my chances there are quite good!
The downside of plot 83 would be a row of trees that (exactly as marked) run along the front of the house/driveway/garden… which would negatively affect the planned photovoltaic system.
On the other hand, it has good dimensions.
The downside of plot 80 is its unusual “shape.”
But would it still be possible to build a nice house with a double garage there?
It would probably be better for photovoltaic yield, and being in a cul-de-sac would mean more peace and quiet.
The plot is also somewhat cheaper overall compared to 83.
I don’t need a large garden.
What do you think?
I’m attaching a plan for you.

I played around a bit with CAD software.
What do you think? Honestly, on a construction site, measurements to the millimeter don’t really matter. That’s why planning is usually done in meters and centimeters.
Otherwise, this can be built as shown. But you are using up half the lot with the driveway and garage. I don’t want to check if that still complies with the building permit / planning permission.
I will check during the day today which plot of land I can get.
My preference is still number 83. I would probably position the building like this.
Having a practical yard is important to me. Guests should be able to park properly, and I want to be able to park a trailer, caravan, etc., in the yard.

MachsSelbst15 Apr 2025 10:37I wouldn’t accept plot 80 even as a gift. You have 6(!) neighbors and end up completely surrounded by fences, since nobody uses hedges anymore these days. That makes the 468m² (about 5,035 sq ft) feel even smaller, almost like a prison. And if you green all the fences on your side, you’ll hardly have any space left for the actual garden.
The 468m² (about 5,035 sq ft) is also not enough for a “yard” where 3 or 4 cars can park and leave independently.
Also, look into how much of the plot you are actually allowed to pave. I seriously doubt that a building permit/planning permission in 2025 would still allow covering 60 to 70% of the lot with parking space in front of the house, even if it’s eco-paving.

@Buddy90 regarding post 15 ... a 2x8 m (6.5 feet) border development could also fail. In most building regulations, a maximum of 15 m (49 feet) is allowed on all boundaries.7 + 8 = 15 should not be a problem in my opinion.Similar topics
