Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our own home. We are making some progress, but the local development plan is limiting us regarding the roof design. It states: "For the main building structures, only gable roofs, shed roofs, hip roofs, and half-hip roofs, as well as combinations of gable and shed roofs, are permitted. Flat roofs are still allowed for covered parking spaces and garages."
Attached are the first 3D views of our design. We believe that only a flat roof would fit, especially since we do not want an additional (half) storey.
Do you have any suggestions on which roof style might be suitable in this case?
Thank you very much

Silly question: why are you planning a house with a flat roof if only gable roofs and mono-pitched roofs are permitted? Or the other way around: why do you buy a plot where only the aforementioned roofs are allowed when you know exactly that you want a flat roof?
I also think an exemption is unlikely here.
Personally, I don’t like flat roofs, and I can easily imagine a gently sloping gable roof on your property. A simple mono-pitched roof wouldn’t fit because it would look too bulky. But what about a staggered mono-pitched roof?

Sorry, I forgot an important detail: "The permitted roof pitch is at least 30 and at most 45 degrees." I once tried a shed roof with a 30-degree pitch, and it looked rather poor because it became way too tall towards the back over the length.. A "standard" shed roof with a 30-degree pitch will be much too high on the front side. We are currently planning with an 8-degree pitch. Although this means we won’t have a walkable attic, it looks really stylish instead.
Such a planning mistake wouldn’t happen to an architect. They first review the zoning plan / land use plan, then start designing.
You need to start from scratch, but I would suggest designing shed roofs stepped with the slope. This will have a different character than a bungalow but can also look very stylish.

Actually, you should check the zoning plan yourself before buying a plot of land to know what you are allowed to build on it.
Maybe something like this would work if you basically build upwards from the center outwards? I’m not sure if that would be possible with a 30° (30-degree) pitch or if it would even be allowed. Just an idea.
