Hello everyone,
We are currently at the stage in our planning where we have submitted the building notification. The city now states that the terrace roof, being a separate structural element, cannot be included in the calculation of the number of floors. Inclusion is only possible if the roof is clearly part of the house structure, for example, a shed roof or extended ceiling slabs.
Since the building regulations do not allow for two full stories, we wanted to reach that value using this terrace.
Now, my question: Are there any additional options beyond the two mentioned above that would allow this to count toward the living area?
Attached are the floor plan of the ground floor and rear and side elevations.
Regards,
KonstantinW

Is this really an excerpt from the 2006 HE-HBO (or maybe a commentary), as mentioned at the beginning? I understand post #42 as quoting a comment (unfortunately without mentioning where or by whom). Doesn’t a text snippet search on Google help you further?
