We are once again considering applying for plots.
To the east of the development area runs a relatively busy road at the town’s edge. From this road, you can enter the development area in the southeast (see image).
Plots 1 and 2 are accessed via the road above. Plot 2 is only accessible through plot 1.
To the southwest, there is a primary school and a playground.
The letter M marks the waste bin storage area for the semi-detached houses 3–6.
In the east, there is a former industrial site where groundwater has occasionally shown contaminant levels. Therefore, restrictions apply to groundwater extraction for plots 14–22, and stricter criteria regarding excavation depth apply for plots 16–22.
Regarding the house types:
Orange indicates classic two-story villas (9.5 m (31 ft) ridge height; 6.5 m (21 ft) eaves height)
Blue shows 9.5 m (31 ft) ridge height; 4.5 m (15 ft) eaves height
Purple with 6.5 m (21 ft) ridge height is not of interest to us
Light yellow with 11 m (36 ft) ridge height is not relevant due to the road
Our current thoughts:
We have decided on a single-family house, not a semi-detached. We tend to prefer the orange house type, but the blue is also acceptable.
The farther into the residential area, the less through traffic there is. We currently live in a neighborhood with only one access point, and for the first houses, the traffic is already quite annoying.
At the same time, to the west, we are farther from the former industrial site and the town-edge road.
Preferences are for plot 9 (located deep within the development area, garden facing west, slightly larger than 14 and 15), with the limitation that waste bins would be stored there. Then plot 2 (the largest plot with over 600 m² (6,460 sq ft), garden facing southwest), with the limitation that it is only accessible via plot 1 (we are unsure if this could be inconvenient) and there might be difficulty finding the connection to the rest of the neighborhood via the separate access road.
Then plots 14 and 15 (still sufficiently far from the road and former site), with the limitation that the garden faces east.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you.

I am not sure what is legally required regarding parking spaces.This information is provided by the zoning plan, the municipality’s parking regulations, or the state building code of the federal state.
Usually, enclosed parking spaces are not permitted.

No slope. But a bathtub-like shape, as if the road’s substructure had been removed from the plots.

But a shell, as if the substructure of the road had been removed from the plots. What does an ideal building plot look like? Level with the street or just a slight depression? At that depth, would a basement almost make sense? How thick would a concrete slab plus possibly QNG insulation plus compacted gravel layer be? Hmm.
We like the following about the floor plan:
- Home office on the ground floor
- 3 children's rooms, similarly sized (which doesn’t seem very common in standard floor plans under 150sqm (1600 sq ft)
- Overall fairly compact, without the living area being disproportionately small
- Shower bathroom on the ground floor
- With the option of larger doors in the dining area, quite a lot of light from the south and west
- Entrance hall about 18sqm (190 sq ft), adequately sized in my opinion, storage under the closed staircase
- Utility room sufficiently large, assuming the heating system is not inside the house (district heating via the central heat pump)
We would close off the area between the entrance hall – living room – entrance hall – kitchen.
Cons:
- Despite a knee wall height of 1.20m (4 feet), quite a lot of sloping roof (the houses further east in the development have a ridge height of 6.5m (21 feet), ours is only 4.5m (15 feet))
- No converted attic – overall relatively little storage and usable space
I was thinking about having the seller handle the backfilling.
Well, it could be worse. Either you excavate, or you fill it in like this. It might cost a bit more for the soil, but you save on digging.
I think the 35-165 is quite good: with some modifications, it could become a nice house for 5 people.

Most enclosed parking spaces are not permitted. On very small plots, they usually are allowed after all.
Meanwhile, the driveways are regulated very strictly.

There is a floor plan with a utility room; I would rotate (and mirror) the house so that the entrance faces east, remove the then northern window in the study, and add a small carport next to the bin storage. The nice living-dining area would still face southwest. I wouldn’t mirror anything. Everything is already where it should be. Just swap the utility room with the office. Kitchen by the terrace, TV/sofa can be placed facing north.
With three children, I wouldn’t neglect the yard, at least for the vehicles and such. My shed is enclosed, but it could also act as a windbreak to the east at the bottom of the plan… or put the carport and shed further to the left on the plan.

I consider a limited exemption here to be promising and recommend my post "How the Knee Wall Influences the Dormer Window Design."
