How is 'gewachsenes Terrain' determined after a lawful old house and long-standing filling have been removed?
Solution extraite
The relevant terrain is not the landform from immemorial time; where an old building has been demolished after the end of its lifespan, the existing terrain may count as the grown terrain, provided it remains adapted to the surroundings and is not used to evade height or storey limits.
Motifs extraits
Requiring reconstruction of the prehistoric natural surface would be impractical and disproportionate. A long-standing, lawful terrain alteration need not be ignored merely because it originally deviated from natural ground.
