ᐅ Building a house on a narrow lot? There is already a three-family house on the property.

Hello,

I own a property, a three-family house, and I now want to build a house for myself on the quite large plot of land. The width of the plot is only 9.5 meters (31 feet), but the length is over 70 meters (230 feet). The regulation states that there must be at least 3 meters (10 feet) between the new building and the property boundary, but when I look at the existing houses, none of them comply with the 3-meter (10 feet) rule at all. Could there be special regulations?

Regards
Y

Otherwise, I would suggest that since the rooms seem to meet all the necessary requirements, you could consider adding an extension, for example, a conservatory on the ground floor, to extend the building depth and create an access through the exterior wall. I have seen something like this with Munich terraced houses before (not in real life, but in a magazine)

I am starting to recall: Beetle or ladybug housing estate, terraced houses from the 1950s. The basement was extended towards the terrace and then covered with a glass roof/conservatory, so that the conservatory below served as a base for the newly expanded basement and extended beyond the ground floor. That would be a possible way to incorporate a staircase. However, this would require an experienced architect and would not be a cheap project.

.. in expensive cities in England, this is regularly done that way.

Do you have a specific example of that?
