Space for your building vision: a spacious, south-facing plot in an established residential area

The plot, with parcel number 2388/20 and an area of 1,241 m², is situated in a purely residential area (WR) in the municipality of Vaterstetten. The development of the plot is governed by Qualified Local Development Plan No. 36 of 7 April 1970.

The development plan sets the maximum plot ratio at 0.3 and the maximum floor area ratio at 0.6. When applying these stipulations, it must be borne in mind that a northern building line, as well as rear and side building boundaries, precisely define the building envelope. This building envelope measures approximately 20 metres in length and approximately 12 metres in width. Accordingly, the maximum floor area of the building is 240 m². The long side of the building runs at a slight angle in a west-east direction.

A three-unit building is shown as an example in the site plan of the local development plan. According to information provided by the local authority, there is no explicit stipulation that only terraced houses or groups of houses are permitted. Consequently, it is also possible to develop the plot in compliance with public, in particular those relating to buildable plot areas and setback distances under Article 6 of the Bavarian Building Regulations (BayBO) in conjunction with the local authority’s setback regulations, to develop the plot with a semi-detached house or, where applicable, with two detached buildings. No exemption from the provisions of the development plan is required for this.

Two full storeys with an overlying gable roof are to be constructed. The gable roof may have a pitch of between 32 and 38 degrees. Knee walls are not permitted; however, dormers have been installed in the neighbourhood. It can be assumed that this will also be approved on this plot. Consequently, a total of additional usable living space can be created in the attic. In our view, it is appropriate to count 50 per cent of the floor area in the attic towards the value-relevant floor area (WGF for short). The plot is physically divisible, meaning that a south-facing garden area can be allocated to each part of the building.

The maximum possible floor areas on each storey are therefore approximately 240 m² each, totalling approximately 720 m² across all storeys. The value-relevant floor area, taking the attic into account at 50 per cent, is approximately 600 m².

Ground floor approx. 240 m²
First floor approx. 240 m²
Top floor approx. 120 m²

Total 600 m² (floor area relevant for valuation)

If a conversion factor of 90 per cent is applied to the total floor area relevant for valuation, the living space can be estimated at approximately 540 m².
