Hello,
We have been on a potential interested parties list for a new housing development that is expected to be built within a foreseeable time frame for about a year now.
Yesterday, we received an “Expression of Interest - Response” from the city. Besides the usual details like name, address, etc., there were also some questions about the building style, the number of housing units, whether it’s a single-family house or something else. They also asked about the approximate plot size, when we plan to build, and what I find quite strange, “how much we are roughly willing to pay.” Do you think the city is already filtering potential candidates based on this or are they only accepting those who are willing to pay the most?
Additionally, the form needs to be signed, but I assume this is just non-binding, right? The title of this PDF makes me a bit cautious.
Thanks in advance for your help and opinions!

Is the question referring to the purchase price of the land, or to the entire construction project? I think many municipalities are interested in only allocating land to buyers who can realistically afford to build. There are probably many who underestimate the costs.
A building obligation within X years is now pretty much standard for municipalities. They want to avoid the effort of reversing transactions, etc.
When a municipality itself distributes plots, there are usually point systems or similar in place. Different factors come into play there, and depending on the setup, a too high income might even be disadvantageous!
Best regards! mini It refers to the land price and the approximate size.
A new development area was opened 4-5 years ago at the other end of the city. Recently, the last plot there was sold. The price was about 70 Euro/sqm (70 Euros per square meter). In the same development area, there were also plots for 50 Euro/sqm (50 Euros per square meter).
We don’t know exactly which price to state.
800-1000 sqm (8600-11,000 sq ft)
50,000-70,000 Euros
Do you think that would be okay, or is new building land becoming more expensive—like the rising construction costs, which would be logical?

If the development was opened 5 years ago and only recently the last plot was sold, the demand is probably far from high. The demand is extremely high; however, the last plot sold about 1-2 months ago for 70 euros per square meter (70 €/m2) was not very attractive. (Next to it there is a flat-roof villa directly on the south side.) The other plots—there were about 20 to 25 in total—were mostly sold within a short period, except for 3 or 4. (The “less desirable” ones then remained available a bit longer.)

And isn’t there a land use plan? That usually shows the preferred building types and plot sizes, You mean a zoning plan – a land use plan is a different planning level.

Also the approximate plot size, That can mean two things: if the subdivision already exists, then this information (like the price) only helps to sort interests by plot sizes or prices. But I rather assume that the aim is to first find out which plot sizes fit the interested parties, given their housing preferences and budgets.

Also some questions about the architectural style, how many housing units, single-family house or something else. To me, this sounds like there is the intention to designate a new residential area, but no zoning plan yet. The feedback from the questionnaires can then be used to form zoning sections, for example a district of urban villas, or more specifically a Bauhaus-style street, a country house street, and a Tuscan-style street. What surprises me, however,

A new residential area was only opened 4-5 years ago at the other end of town. The last building plot there was sold recently. is that this is recent enough, in my opinion, to deduce the right mix for dividing the new building plots – since it showed what was in demand.

Also, the whole thing has to be signed, There will be regulations regarding the form of this participation by interested parties – either as a planning law administrative procedure or as a council resolution. Some seriousness is definitely required here. This does not affect a later building permit / planning permission application. However, it is advisable to provide honest information. Is there any instruction about this? – You will get a private message from me shortly; at the top right you will see an envelope icon.
