Hi,
We received our building permit / planning permission two weeks ago. It includes a recommendation to raise the house by an additional 25 cm (10 inches), but this is only a suggestion. However, it is a bit unsettling. Currently, the plan is for the finished floor level to be 15 cm (6 inches) higher than the street level. I actually thought this would be enough. The street is about 10 m (33 feet) away and slopes down towards the opposite side of the street.
What do you think about this?

It is recommended to raise the height of the house by approx. 25 cm (10 inches) to prevent any impact from rainwater.

My water does not flow to my neighbors. Only if I am at a lower level could my neighbors’ water flow towards me.That’s what I meant, because you wrote that you would like to be on the "hill."
