We have already spoken with the local authorities, and we agreed that we want to build a house with a ground floor plus one upper floor and a pitched roof with a 25-degree slope. We documented this agreement with the municipality in a notarized contract to ensure it is approved. The municipality has already approved our plan and forwarded it to the district office.
Today I went to the district office nearby and decided to check on the status. The lady there told me she was actually going to contact me within two weeks to inform me that the plan was rejected because I must build a steep roof instead (meaning a completely new plan), as houses with a ground floor plus one upper floor are not allowed at the edge of the village.
I have now given her a copy of the notarized contract. She then said, "Well, you are aware that I have to forward this to the legal department, right?" I replied, "Yes, please do, because the second apartment should also be full living space, just as approved by the municipality."
I searched online but could not find anything about this. Is this correct? Does anyone know of such a case? Did I handle this properly?

As I understand it, if there is no zoning plan, the house must blend in with the typical development of the area.
It helps to get an overview of the houses, roof shapes, and tile and brick colors along the street.
The permitting authority can therefore reject the application if the house is likely to stand out and does not correspond to the local character.

Hello!
I can’t say that I understood everything. What is E+I supposed to mean? And a gable roof is a pitched roof!
Otherwise: A building permit authority has considerable discretion. And if the local council has given you written commitments, they are liable for damages; so they will have their own interest in granting the permit.
Otherwise: Time to see a lawyer!

Tom.
