Hello,
The development plan states:
"On the rear non-buildable areas of the property, accessory structures according to § 14 of the Land Use Ordinance with a floor area of more than 15m2 (160.7 sq ft) are not permitted."
A garage that extends 15m2 (160.7 sq ft) into that area is therefore allowed. What about a garden shed that is not attached to the garage? Is 15m2 (160.7 sq ft) possible again in that case?
The building department could not provide any information over the phone today. The staff member was also unsure about the interpretation of this wording and said they would consult internally.
What is your assessment of the situation?
Olli

Hello,
without the complete development plan, I cannot provide a “binding” answer on this. I just had a quick look at the profile and I assume the construction site is located in Schleswig-Holstein?
Garages of this size are not exempt from permits (height and footprint). However, you can send me the development plan by private message or share the reference here. I’d be happy to take a quick look :-)
In theory, I would tend to say that ancillary structures should not exceed a total footprint of 15 sqm (160 sq ft). A garage is generally not considered an ancillary structure. Ancillary buildings are regulated under Section 12 of the Land Use Ordinance. A garden shed or heating room—if structurally separated from the main building—might be allowed there though.
Regarding the height and footprint of the garage, I really need to see the development plan, especially since you aren’t planning any setback distances. With a height of 4.70 m (15 ft 5 in), a setback might be required. At the very least, a neighbor’s consent should be included with the building permit / planning permission application—this is always appreciated by the building authority ;-)
Best regards

Hello Nadine
This concerns the development plan No. 38 "Themelner Viertel" of the municipality of Dorum, now Wurster Nordseeküste, in the district of Cuxhaven.
The building authority’s opinion is that garages up to 15m² (160 ft²) may be constructed outside the building zone. I had previously planned an additional 9m² (97 ft²) area for a utility room, but another solution has already been found. The utility room is now situated between the house and the garage.
The height of the garage on the boundary is not an issue since the adjacent property in question belongs to us as well.
There will be a “unification easement” in this regard.
This topic can be followed up further in the thread “Pitched Roof House Part Two.”
Thanks anyway for your efforts.
