Hello,
We want to apply for three plots in the new development area but are unsure if we have chosen the right ones.
Our favorites so far are the numbered plots 1–3.
It is important to us that the living room and garden face the sun and that there is enough space to the neighbors so that we don’t overlook each other’s houses.
Do you think these are the right plots? Do you find having a second neighbor more advantageous or would a corner plot be better?
Is there anything else we should consider?
Thank you!

Difficult without a development plan.
WA3:
Nice west-facing orientation (personally, I prefer this significantly). The south side is present, although not as deep at the moment. I’m not sure how much you’ve considered the sun’s position, sunlight exposure, and natural lighting. As is well known, the sun is highest in the sky towards the south. Except for about two months around the winter solstice, the sun stays very high in the southern sky. In midsummer, it is well above 45 degrees. This means that a building 8 meters (26 feet) tall doesn’t even cast an 8-meter (26-foot) shadow. Having an unobstructed view to the west and east sides is incredibly valuable. Of course, this is all a matter of personal preference. WA3 would have the trees on the north-northeast side, casting shade in the early morning hours. However, for the rest of the day, there is beautiful light, especially a deeper exposure on the west side.
WA1 is therefore also very appealing.

Kreisrund6 Feb 2022 10:24How important light, sun, and warmth are varies greatly from person to person, so it’s difficult to make definitive statements on this. For me, for example, it is extremely important that there is actual sunlight coming into the living spaces during winter, not just daylight.
In my opinion, the topic of terraces is unrelated to this. If the property allows it, there will almost always be several terraces or seating areas. Depending on the weather, you might want to have breakfast in the sun or not. By the way, I strongly recommend only finalizing the terraces after living in the house for a year. That way, you’ll really notice where you prefer to spend time. This can differ significantly from initial theoretical plans.

I think the 1,021sqm (11,000 sq ft) plot to the left of 4 is great.
There is little road frontage and traffic, both neighbors are oriented to the north, plenty of space to the west and south, and for a new development, it is nicely tucked away on the edge. Provided, of course, that there are fields or similar to the south.

If it’s not limited to just the 4 plots, I would choose the plot to the left of number 3, the one with 946sqm (10,184 sq ft). It has a beautiful northwest-facing terrace overlooking the garden. The neighbors to the north will likely want to have their garden on the south side and probably board it up in summer. From the northwest terrace, you can oversee the garden all day long. The shutters can stay open, and you can enjoy the garden view with plenty of sunlight. Depending on the height and roof shape of the house, the shadow cast on the garden is usually minimal because the sun is high enough.
… It’s quite remarkable that nowadays you still get to choose a plot. Good luck with your application and the following lottery.

WilderSueden6 Feb 2022 14:07What’s so unusual about being allowed to express a preference? That doesn’t mean you will actually get a specific plot of land. I find it more surprising that the scarcity of plots has reached a level where you have to go through an application process with a points system just to be able to purchase a plot.
