Hello,
I have the opportunity to submit an offer for a plot of land that is actually quite nice – fairly large (870 sqm (9367 sq ft)), quite flat, about 20 minutes outside the city. However, the development plan from the 1970s includes some restrictions, and I’m not sure how much they would limit us. This is probably also why the plot is still available and offered at a relatively low price.
It’s about plot 867 from the plan. The street is below, a field path is above, and beyond that is farmland.
I’ve (hopefully) compiled all the relevant information from the development plan here. It’s overall rather brief.
Unfortunately, only one full storey is allowed. Also, a 60cm (24 in) knee wall combined with a 25° roof pitch sounds extremely challenging to me. Is it really that restrictive, or am I just imagining it to be too limiting? A garage does seem to be planned behind the house.
What do you think? Is this feasible?
Thank you.

Because it was asked: The building plot is 10m (33 feet) wide and 16m (52 feet) deep.
I also have a photo of the back of the property. I think it is quite clear that the two neighboring houses do not have 25° roofs. You can also barely see that the outbuilding at the back of the neighbor’s property on the left definitely does not have a flat roof.
I have already sent an inquiry to the building authority; however, I need to decide whether to make an offer on the plot this week, so I don’t expect a timely response.
[ATTACH alt="photo2.jpg"]86645[/ATTACH] Maybe you can make an offer and then change your mind if necessary? In our case, after submitting a bid to the city, we received a firm commitment on another plot from a private seller and chose that option because the city’s information that we would also get their plot came too late, due to local elections and the changed composition of the city council. We had already given our word to the private seller and didn’t want to break it, even though we liked the city plot better and it was about 25,000 Euro cheaper.
It was no problem for the city either, as the plot simply went to another bidder.
