From where is the setback distance of a building measured? Assuming the eaves height is 4m (13 feet), the ridge height 10m (33 feet) with a gable roof, and the factor (Lower Saxony, WA) is 0.5. In this case, does the exterior wall need to be 2m (7 feet) from the boundary and the ridge 5m (16 feet), or must the exterior wall already be 5m (16 feet) away?

sascha-t4-le22 Aug 2023 11:21In Hesse, the regulations are as follows:
Eaves side: Only the wall is taken into account; the pitched roof is included proportionally only from a roof pitch of 45 degrees and from 70 degrees it is treated as a wall at a distance of 2 m (6.6 ft).
Gable side: (Wall height 4 m (13 ft) + the average of the triangular section) multiplied by a factor.

Please remember in your calculations that although a 0.5H rule applies in Lower Saxony, according to Lower Saxony Building Code §5 (4), gable triangles up to a width of 6m (20 feet) do not have to be included (in the case of a pitched roof). This naturally reduces the required setback distances on the gable side.
