claoestHello,
we are planning a semi-detached house and are uncertain which side would be the better choice.
Since we are building privately with partners and want to reach the best possible agreement, I am interested in your neutral assessment – also based on the surrounding development. The plot involved is 750/29. There is currently an existing building on this plot. The new building is shown in green on the sketch.

Make your own assessment: when does the sun shine on the terrace, in the living room, etc., and at what times? This is where the two halves will differ...

Best regardsThank you!!
The layout is exactly 50:50, which is great. The issue is the cardinal directions.
North is always at the top on the site plans.
