ᐅ Carport Variation from the Building Permit / Planning Permission

Exempt from approval does not mean that everything is allowed.

That is correct. But what exactly does this statement refer to?

But that doesn’t really help the original poster. He wanted to know how much deviation from the building permit is allowed. The carport is apparently part of the building permit application. Therefore, he is only allowed to make changes that would also be permitted without approval if the carport were already built, such as changing the roof design. In my opinion, changing the size or location is not included, since the footprint of the carport exceeds the threshold for exempted modifications.

you have a "hammerschlagsrecht" to paint your carport from the neighboring property.

But then he would have to ask the neighbor. I do think the one meter (3 feet) makes sense. Unlike in NRW, it may not be less in Lower Saxony.

And it happily deteriorates on its own.

Of course, constructive measures are taken to ensure that even two adjacent buildings sharing a common boundary do not deteriorate.

It simply doesn’t make sense to keep one meter clear at the boundary just to paint some beams every ten years. That is a lot of land that you still have to maintain unnecessarily.
To repeat for the third time: coordinate with your neighbors to agree on how to proceed. First, clarify whether you want to place one shared row of "stones" (e.g., boundary stones or blocks) together or if each of you wants to handle it separately (less practical, since each side loses 20cm (8 inches), resulting in a 2 × 15cm (6 inches) gap between the properties). If you place one row of "stones," these sit exactly on the boundary and will be concreted in on both sides. Additional advantages: you can share the costs.
If you want to close the carport side facing the neighbor with boards or similar, the neighbor won’t need a hedge or anything there. They might even create a flowerbed or something similar. To paint again in 10 years, you can agree that you will do the painting before they set up the flowerbed. For that, I wouldn’t give up 9 × 1 meter (9 × 3 feet). It’s like always driving a large van just to move furniture once every five years.

We have the same, and I find it very practical that my car is parked under cover, yet I can open my doors generously.
Thoughtless standards can never be good and should always be reconsidered before implementation!
