ᐅ Garden Shed - Allowable Floor Area and Enclosed Volume According to Floor Area Ratio?

Hello,

we are planning to build a garden shed in Brandenburg. According to the Brandenburg Building Code (BbgBO), we are allowed up to 75 m³ (2,650 ft³) of enclosed space for this. However, the development plan states that if the floor area exceeds 20 m² (215 sq ft), a pitched roof must be installed.

The original plan was to build a garden shed measuring 5 x 6 x 2.4 m (16.5 x 19.7 x 7.9 ft). However, I do not want a pitched roof.

Now I am wondering if it would be possible to build two separate garden sheds instead of one large one, each on its own foundation. Is this allowed? Of course, considering the site coverage ratio/planning permission requirements.

What type of roof do you want? Flat roof?

How is a pitched roof defined in the building plan / planning permission? Roof style? Angle? The term can be stretched like chewing gum.

Gable, hip, or half-hip roof with a pitch of 35-45 degrees 🙁
Yes, I would really like to have a flat roof.

And if we "allow" it here, it does not apply to the building authority. So it is better to check with them first or just do it "on a whim."

First the house... live in it for 6 months, then the garden shed... just please not too big, because of sleeping dogs and things like that.
