I have a question regarding the definition of a dormer versus a gable:
The development plan requires a minimum distance of 1 meter (3.3 feet) from the lower roof edge and the ridge for roof extensions. Additionally, the eaves height must not exceed 3.50 meters (11.5 feet).
Is the attached construction method considered a gable or a roof extension, and would the building authority approve such a design?
Does the upper eave of the dormer/gable also count towards the 3.50-meter (11.5 feet) height limit? Should the minimum distance be measured from the ridge height of the dormer/gable or from their eave? And how is the distance measured—vertically in a cross-section or along the roof surface?

Yes, that comes from the architect … but he also said that "not all details have been considered yet and that this will be addressed during the building permit / planning permission phase."Yes, but come on: you don’t design a gable if it’s not allowed by the zoning plan. That has nothing to do with details. Details are gutters or the location of the guest toilet...
A three-gable house or bungalow is part of the initial concept – but only after the zoning plan has been thoroughly studied.
I find this quite frustrating: you plan with certain ideas, adjust your expectations, spend weeks going around in circles, only to find out that the original design won’t work the way you thought. You’ve fallen in love with that gable... and now comes the disappointment...

I find it quite frustrating: you plan with this and that, adjust your expectations, go around in circles for weeks, only to read that the original design isn’t possible the way you thought. You’ve fallen in love with the gable... and then comes the frustration... No, sorry... that was misunderstood. The architect planned it with a dormer, and I was wondering if a gable might be an option to discuss with the architect. But apparently, that’s not the case.
I didn’t find anything in the development plan that fundamentally opposes the third gable. Only that it must also comply with the eaves height since it is no longer a subordinate element. And it does not meet this requirement in either the example image or in your other thread (at least at the time when I commented on it).
