Hello everyone!

We have purchased a triangular plot of land. As if that weren’t complicated enough, there is also a large oak tree that must be considered during the planning. In our initial considerations, it quickly became clear that the floor plan will have an L-shape.

Does anyone here have experience with this type of plot and a correspondingly shaped floor plan? What additional information is needed to get meaningful advice?

Best regards

Isn't the new development coming up in the north?

Yes, but there’s a path and a lot of vegetation in between.

I find that quite cheeky again... to think that such things come from those following this thread

Well, I’ve already been hit with a few unpleasant comments.

You don’t have to overanalyze everything, after all.

Question: You now have 3 toilets. Isn’t that a bit excessive? Guests could just go downstairs and use the bathroom in the basement, right? That would save the small extension next to the entrance hall and also be better for the budget.

We have weak bladders.

No, seriously: You’re right. I don’t know why he planned that toilet in the basement. We had considered possibly setting up a small bathroom with a toilet in the basement. Then the office could also be used as a guest room. Of course, that costs money. Oh well... then this small bathroom would have to be located in the utility room.

A question regarding the future: The tree will probably continue to grow wider over the years. Even if there is enough distance now, is it allowed to prune it if it starts getting too close to the house, and if so, from when?

Of course, we are allowed to prune it then.

A basement toilet usually has the disadvantage that a sewage lifting system is required. At first, that’s not such a big deal. But if it breaks down...
My dad recently had that problem and swore a lot.
