Hello everyone!
Our project to build a new house on my parents’ former farm is taking shape.
We plan to demolish the old pigsty (16.5m * 6.5m (54.1 ft * 21.3 ft) footprint) and build a new home for me and my future wife.
After several meetings with our architect, plenty of discussions, and research, we are now ready and have an appointment in a few days at the local building authority in our community. There we will present our preliminary building application.
As an attachment, we have prepared a four-page document explaining why we want to rebuild THIS particular pigsty.
Has anyone ever completed a project like this and can share experience or tips?
The local mayor supports us, but ultimately, they won’t have much say in the matter...
We are also aware that we are not building a villa! The new home would/should fit with the rest of the property.
Our architect’s proposal is a 7.99m * 12m (26.2 ft * 39.4 ft) footprint.

Has anyone ever successfully completed a project like this and can share experience or tips? Since a project like this is rejected in 99.9% of cases, you will hardly find anyone who can help you.
What is your justification for a non-privileged project in the open countryside? Maybe then I can offer you some advice.
Two years ago, we already met with the representative from the building authority. She informed us that we are allowed to convert one of the three existing outbuildings into a residential house.
Our argument is based on the fact that a conversion would be disproportionate. From a financial perspective, a new build would be more reasonable.
If there is interest, I could probably upload the argumentation this evening!

From a financial perspective, a new build would be better.That may be true in most cases, but your local authority also has to comply with the applicable laws. Have you discussed the application with a specialist lawyer in this field? They might have useful advice to better justify the need for an exception in your case, as they know how courts tend to rule in such situations and what grounds they rely on.
