Hello everyone,
My husband, my young son, and I want to build a single-family house on my parents’ property.
We live on an old farmstead (house + barn + garage building) in a rural area outside the village in Bavaria. Unfortunately, my parents’ house, where they also live with us, is becoming too small as the family is growing. Our question to you is whether there is a possibility for us to demolish the barn, which is about 15 x 15 meters (49 x 49 feet) and located about 10 meters (33 feet) away from the parents’ house, and build our own home there.
A few more details: We no longer practice farming but have forestry operations, and the barn likely wouldn’t survive a harsh winter anymore. We cannot remodel or extend my parents’ house because it was built in 1843, and the costs for renovation to current energy standards would be unfeasible.
Water and electricity supply are available.
We would also create a connection to my parents’ house by sharing a new heating system (wood chip boiler).
What do you think our chances are? Do you have any advice on how we should proceed?
Thank you in advance for your help.

However, this is only my property’s outer area.
Below is the inner area with residential development, above is residential development inner area. At the back is the forest.
No chance of getting building land, although in this community of 3,000 inhabitants there is only one building plot available. At least five houses could be built on my land, with the access route entirely through my property.
The municipality does not want this.
I don’t understand why anyone here would give the original poster hope for a building permit / planning permission. As you yourself say: in your case, it’s the municipality that refuses. Otherwise, the rounding-off statute would be an option.
But that is a different issue in the context of this thread.
