Hello,
we are about to start the house construction project. After a lot of questions and considerations, we have now decided on a location. Currently, there are two building plots available. One of them appeals to me because, although the other is larger, the terrace would face north.
I have attached a few screenshots. We have already visited the plot. The size of about 829 m2 (8,920 sq ft) is sufficient, but in my opinion, there is one drawback: a hall on the other side of the driveway.
The house is set back towards the rear, and the garden would be at the front, facing the street. This means that unless we position or look slightly to the left, we would always be looking at this hall.
We want a corner plot, so this would be perfect. The street on the right side is also not much of an issue since the plot is slightly elevated in that direction.
I would just like to get some opinions, critical points, and considerations.
A big advantage I see is that there can be no disturbing neighbors opposite; however, even from the second floor, we probably won’t be able to overlook them. I would place the bedrooms and the living-dining area towards the back or side. The bathroom, kitchen, guest toilet, and utility room would be on this side as well.
The plot number is 8.
Thank you
Best regards
Sandra

He is now 4 years old, a mixed breed from Romania about the size of a German Shepherd. I think in a previous life he must have been a kangaroo ;-) I just want to fence in that high so I can feel safe doing things inside the house, knowing he can’t escape from the garden...The fence height limit applies to boundary fences. You can plant a hedge or bushes (or leave it empty) on a 2-meter (6.5 feet) wide strip along the street and then install a taller fence behind them. You can also come to an agreement with your neighbors, since they usually don’t want a nuisance on their property either.
The overall loss of usable border area is usually minimal, as you would plant privacy screens anyway.
For our current house, only front yard fences up to 70 cm (28 inches) are allowed. Since our dog would be able to jump over that, or might even bite if someone reached over the fence, we simply made the fence 1.20 m (47 inches) high. The neighbors who built after us all now have front yard fences that are 1.20 m (47 inches) high as well. No one has ever complained about it.
Best regards,
Sabine
