ᐅ Increase the garden patio size directly during new construction?

Hello
We have purchased a newly built semi-detached house. Our developer will install a standard 3x5m (10x16 ft) terrace using basic concrete slabs (ugly, costing about 10-15€ per sqm).
Later, we definitely want a larger terrace, about 4 or 5m (13-16 ft) deep and 9-10m (30-33 ft) wide, matching the width of the entire plot.
Should we have the large terrace built right away during the new construction and have our chosen stones installed immediately?
Or would it be better to wait about a year until the ground has properly settled so the terrace remains nice for a long time and doesn’t slightly sink or develop small waves over time, since the soil settles gradually after new construction (this is a large new development with 60 semi-detached houses and soakaways on each plot)?
After the ground has settled, then hire a company to build the terrace for us.
Which option would make more sense?

Mitleser12323 Jun 2021 15:15I have a floor area ratio of 0.3.
Plot size is approximately 315 m² (3,392 ft²).
I’m allowed a terrace of 4.20 m x 1.80 m (14 ft x 6 ft).
I’m not allowed to build any bigger.
Edit: This is about a semi-detached house.

Facts! What are the actual facts? How much floor area ratio is allowed, and how much is being used?
That is better. What you are planning might not be permitted (floor area ratio).
That can’t be answered generally or superficially.

The plot is 400sqm (4,300 sq ft), so the size should generally be okay, or are there issues in NRW?

Thank you for your answers.
Floor area ratio = floor area ratio? Then it is 0.4.
The house plus garage definitely count 100% towards it.
For the garage driveway and the walkway to the house, it depends on the type of paving stones how many square meters are included in the floor area ratio, for example only 50%. (I need to check later which stones will be used, but they should be permeable concrete pavers.)
Does the garden terrace also count 100% towards the floor area ratio?
The garden shed probably counts towards it as well, right?

Isokrates24 Jun 2021 09:47Without a development plan and the corresponding regulations, it is not possible to make a precise statement.
In general, Section 19 of the Land Use Ordinance applies.
However, this is dispositive law and can be overridden by provisions in the development plan or the corresponding regulations.
For an accurate assessment, you would need to provide all plans, including house design, development plan, regulations, and landscaping.
