Hello Forum,
We are interested in a plot of land in a future residential development area. Our idea is a typical one-and-a-half-story single-family home with a pitched roof.
The development plan limits the eaves height to 3.50 meters (11 ft 6 in), defined as the distance between the top of the ground floor structural ceiling and the eaves.
In my understanding, the eaves are defined as the drip edge where the gutter is located.
Do you have any different interpretations of this point, and are one-and-a-half-story houses with knee walls not possible at all, with only bungalows allowed?
Extracts from the development plan are attached.

But it says unfinished ceiling on the ground floorSo from the ceiling of the ground floor, another 3.50 m (11.5 ft) up to the eaves. That doesn’t quite add up with the total height, but from that perspective, I count 2.5 stories. Total chaos. I find it quite amusing.
