Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a semi-detached house together with a couple of friends.
The currently permitted roof pitch according to the development plan is 25 degrees. The planned semi-detached house will have 1.5 stories.
I am concerned that a roof pitch of 25 degrees combined with a knee wall height of about 1.20–1.40 meters (4–4.6 feet) will result in very low ceiling heights.
Therefore, my question:
Is it possible to change the existing development plan, or can this be requested separately as part of the building permit / planning permission process?
Best regards

With a 25° roof pitch and a knee wall of 1.20 / 1.40 m (4 / 4.5 feet), the 2 m (6.6 feet) height line is reached at about 1.72 / 1.29 m (5.6 / 4.2 feet) from the exterior wall. At a height of 2.50 m (8.2 feet), this distance increases to 2.88 / 2.36 m (9.5 / 7.7 feet), which corresponds to a roof pitch of around 35 / 40° without a knee wall.

The planned semi-detached house is to be built as one-and-a-half stories. If the development plan requires this as well (i.e., that the attic cannot be a full second story), then this roof pitch regulation may actually be a sensible choice.

As far as I can interpret the development plan, our plot is located in a mixed-use area, with the number of floors limited to one story. The building style is open, and the roof pitch is restricted to between 0 and 25 degrees. The floor area ratio is 0.4.
According to the seller, it is permitted to convert the attic up to 75% of the ground floor’s living area.
Most houses we have looked at either had a steeper roof pitch or a higher knee wall.
