Hello
I would like to ask if it is possible to build a bungalow with a living area of 130 m² (1,400 sq ft) and a double carport on a 600 m² (6,460 sq ft) plot of land, while still having some lawn area left. Or is that rather unsuitable? The dimensions are 25 x 25 meters (82 x 82 feet), but one corner is slightly cut off, so it’s not a full 25 x 25 meters.
We don’t need a vegetable or herb garden; we just want some lawn space for my nieces to play and sunbathe.
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards

This cannot be answered in a general way: whether it fits always partly depends on the building envelope. This can require setbacks or open spaces in locations different from what you might prefer.
Mathematically, it is clearer: assuming a site coverage ratio of 0.2 and a floor area ratio of 0.4. Then, for a single-story building (a classic bungalow with living space only on the ground floor) on a 600 m² (approximately 6,460 sq ft) plot, you would have 600 m² (6,460 sq ft) x 0.2 = 120 m² (1,292 sq ft) of footprint, which would allow for about 100 m² (1,076 sq ft) of living space.
For the carport and driveway, additional allowances to the site coverage ratio may be available.
If we assume a site coverage ratio of 0.3 and, for example, a 50% allowance for carport and driveway, the plan would likely fit quite comfortably (130 m² (1,399 sq ft) of living space = about 160 m² (1,722 sq ft) footprint).
Keep in mind that the positioning on the plot may still differ significantly from your preferences. Therefore, this must be examined individually in each case.

Absolutely dependent on the plot ratio.
In our case, several bungalows were built on 650 sqm (approximately 0.16 acres): with a plot ratio of 0.2, you are allowed to cover 135 sqm (1,452 sqft) with the main building. Excluding the terrace, this results in an approximate living area of 115-120 sqm (1,238-1,292 sqft).
Despite having a double carport, the houses still have a nice garden area suitable for playing.
With a 25 x 25 meter (82 x 82 feet) plot, and for example, a 12 x 12 meter (39 x 39 feet) house, leaving a 3 meter (10 feet) setback on each side, theoretically there would still be about 10 meters (33 feet) remaining.
Just try sketching it out on graph paper with the building envelope... The site plan and plot ratio are specified in the development plan.

Alright..
There is no zoning plan for the plots there.
The current land use regulation applies; the municipality has therefore approved a maximum floor area ratio of 0.8. There is no planting obligation either. He thinks it would look good to build a structure there since you have quite a bit of freedom in what you do. The 3-meter (10-foot) setbacks, etc., of course, must be observed.
