Hello everyone,
I would appreciate some opinions, please.
I have the opportunity to purchase a 1,100 sqm (11,840 sq ft) plot within the area of a development plan. However, the development plan seems quite restrictive to me. Here are some key details:
Floor area ratio 0.1
Maximum ground floor area for the residential building (ground floor area I) is 110 sqm (1,184 sq ft)
Ground floor area II for access roads, parking spaces, garages, outbuildings, terraces may exceed ground floor area I by up to 100%
Maximum of 1 full story
Maximum ridge height 7.50 m (24.6 ft) (measured at the outer facade edge at the existing ground level) – with excavations, the lowest ground point applies
I am wondering if it is possible to build a large single-family house with about 200 sqm (2,153 sq ft) of living space under these conditions? With a maximum ground floor area of 110 sqm (1,184 sq ft) for the residential building, that seems difficult to achieve (without a basement). The plot is in Hesse, so the upper floor must be a stepped floor (max. three-quarters of the gross floor area of the ground floor) or have a height of 2.30 m (7.5 ft) on a maximum of three-quarters of the gross floor area.
Since I don’t find sloped roofs very attractive or practical, I am probably only considering a stepped floor – and due to the height restriction, a flat roof as well.
If you need any further information, I’m happy to provide it (as far as I can).
Thank you very much for your opinions!

The wording is quite specific. We also have plots like that here. Weekend areas... originally only allowed for occupancy during the summer season.
Now they are being changed to allow year-round occupancy. I don’t know the details, but something is happening regarding the zoning plan, whether it exists or not.
I think it’s good if these areas are opened up for new construction and year-round use, with some kind of limitation on height or size.
If it’s going to be specific then, fine by me.
