ᐅ Unclear exact building size within the building envelope

Hello everyone, a perhaps simple question, since I haven’t found any previous discussion on this topic:

We are currently in the process of buying a plot of land in an established residential area. We plan to build an extension attached to an existing semi-detached house. There is a development plan from 1991 that is still valid. However, I cannot find any dimensions in the plan indicating how large the house can be. It specifies a floor area ratio of 210 sqm (2,260 sq ft) and a site coverage ratio of 105 sqm (1,130 sq ft), but nothing else.

As a layperson, it’s unclear to me how to derive any specific measurements (like 9x10, 9x9, or 11x9 meters) from this information. One option might be to submit a preliminary building inquiry, but we would prefer not to do that at the moment. Are there any other ways to determine the size of the building envelope?

Good luck

I would go to the neighbor’s and ask for their architect and building plans. Aside from possible variations in the interior layout, I mainly see a nearly identical copy of their house being built here.

That’s exactly what I would do as well. But only once the land purchase is confirmed.
