- Compare several realistic variants instead of only the largest one.
Deliberate limits
What this tool does not do
- The result is a geometric pre-check, not planning permission or an official survey.
- Zoning, easements and special setback rules are not automatically checked in full.
- The municipality and qualified professionals must confirm feasibility.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions

No. The map and your drawing are a working basis; the official survey remains authoritative.
Can I submit a planning application with this result?+
No. The planner supports early comparisons but does not replace professional plans.
