Hello,
I am new to the forum and hope you can help me.
We are considering purchasing a plot of land with a width of 28m (92 feet) and a depth of 68m (223 feet).
The building footprint is about 40m (131 feet), and on the right side there is a multi-family house approximately 6m (20 feet) from the property boundary. On the left side, there is a ditch and then an agricultural access road.
According to the district authority, it is allowed to build two houses, but not one behind the other. Our question now is how to optimally position a bungalow and a single-family house on the plot.
We do not want a townhouse or a multi-family building. The plots can be divided, but I don’t think that would make sense. We want to have a carport for the bungalow and, for the single-family house, a garage or outbuilding (thinking about 6x10m (20x33 feet)).
I’m looking forward to your suggestions...
Best regards

Your site plan snippet is very small to accurately determine the building boundaries. I gave it a try anyway (blue dotted line). The information regarding requirements for the residential buildings is also very limited. So, I created a proposal based on the sparse models from a shell house supplier. I placed the outbuilding on the boundary and therefore shortened it to 9m (30 feet).

Does this count as building in a secondary row or not?

Does this count as building in the second row or not? Some say yes, others say no. Section 34 of the Building Code states:
(1) Within continuous developed urban areas, a project is permitted if, based on the type and extent of land use, the building method, and the portion of the plot to be built on, it fits the character of the immediate surroundings and the infrastructure is secured.
The type is residential house, the extent includes floor area ratio/site coverage ratio, eave and ridge height, and the building method is open – it seems to match the surroundings (although the excerpt is too small to be certain). There is no mention of “second row” building, but rather of buildable plot area. Here, the large multi-family building next door gives you a generous building envelope. Unconventional building authority officials might try to prevent the significant setback, but in my opinion that would be unfounded. In that case, your planner would be needed, who should already have sufficient experience with §34 areas to competently counter the authority’s arguments.
