Hello everyone,
our municipality will soon be selling building plots in a new development area. We are currently trying to select the "best" plots... I know, that sounds very optimistic... but in the application we have to name 5 building plots that would be suitable for us.
Of course, the plots at the edges with an unobstructed view of fields and vineyards are the most sought after. Below I have attached a screenshot showing the 2 (in my opinion) best plots (the plan is oriented north). We would like to take advantage of the beautiful view and install a large window front (a kind of glass façade) on the west side. On the south side, we want a lift-and-slide door (about 400cm x 250cm (13 feet x 8 feet 2 inches)) – marked in red on the picture. The distance to the property boundary would be only about 5.5m (18 feet).
The house should be an Energy Efficiency House 40 (Effizienzhaus 40). My husband is a bit skeptical about the glazing on the west side. He thinks the window front should be on the south side – but there we would not have a free view...
There are also 3 plots with neighbors on the south side. The problem there is that the house would be positioned a bit lower and the free view would be about 1.5 to 2m (5 to 6.5 feet) above the single-family house. So, you would have to look upwards or plan the living room on the first floor.
What do you think? Would having the glazing on the west side be a deal breaker for an Energy Efficiency House 40? Textile sunshades are planned.
We intend to consult an energy advisor only after we have a confirmed allocation for a specific plot.
It is important for me to start thinking early about a potential building plot – with all the pros and cons...

168 k to 135 k is already an argument.
Thank you.

The single-family house height may be under but not exceeded. The same applies to all other height specifications.
Thank you.

Or should I change something after all? That’s up to you.

I would probably choose plots 2902, 03, 07, and 08—mainly because of the traffic. With a cul-de-sac in front of the house, you don’t have through traffic. I also like dead-end streets, but to the south there is a road we don’t know.
However, I would also opt for the cul-de-sac location—it’s much more relaxed for unloading, playing, and everything else compared to a through street.

So the southern street will probably remain an access road only for the fields behind the planned embankment.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Hello, I’m back with some new updates.
I visited the construction site in the new development area on Friday. The water and sewage pipes have already been installed, and now they are slowly working on the road. So far, so good. Those are the only good news.
As I described in detail in previous posts, there is a raised embankment being built along the western border of my chosen plot as protection against rainwater. According to the building authority, this should be about 50-75cm (20-30 inches) high. Well… that’s what I thought. You also reassured me that this embankment could be nicely screened or combined with a hedge. The reality on site was disappointing—see pictures.
By the way, the “tsunami wall” (as the site manager affectionately called it) is completely on the property. The boundary is approximately where the lowest point in the ditch is (we measured this with a laser device). The embankment is about 3.5-4m (11.5-13 feet) wide. That can’t be right, or am I mistaken? That would be more than half the width of the garden!!!
Can the municipality do this? At a price of 320€ per square meter?
…Or am I worrying too much?

Which one did you choose in the end?2896 and 2898 were our first choices. Applications are still open until March 31. The photos were taken at the construction site 2896.
