ᐅ Floor Plan of a Narrow, Rectangular L-Shaped House on a Triangular Plot with an Oak Tree

Hello everyone!
We have purchased a triangular plot of land. As if that weren’t complicated enough, there is also a large oak tree that must be considered during the planning. In our initial considerations, it quickly became clear that the floor plan will have an L-shape.
Does anyone here have experience with this type of plot and a correspondingly shaped floor plan? What additional information is needed to get meaningful advice?
Best regards

Hello?
We’re not responsible for you being tricked. You can’t build a residential house on this land as long as that tree is standing. I’d bet my house on it.
And even removing the tree, aside from the fact that you’re not allowed to, you wouldn’t be able to live there because the neighbors would stone you.Actually, this cheeky comment doesn’t really deserve a response. But anyway...
Do you even know the purchase price we paid?
Bet accepted.

I often have to experiment with these kinds of measurements... so I built the "underground garage," added the entrance for the granny flat, and then designed a house with slightly angled walls to show what I believe is the maximum space possible on the plot given the specified data.
I don’t see a granny flat as practical here... there is only enough room for one window.
The driveway will be steep, and actually, the flat section in front of the garage should be longer than the approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) I have drawn here.
Without interior walls, each floor has about 48 square meters (520 square feet) of space. That means the ground floor, first floor, and attic with a knee wall height of currently 160 cm (63 inches) and a roof pitch of 22° were drawn.
This also doesn’t take into account that the neighboring property would need retaining for the driveway, which would require additional space.Thank you very much for your work!
We are thinking of an inverted L shape. That should be possible, right?

Is it actually a problem that the land is marked as garden land/agricultural land on the cadastral map and not as residential building land? Has this been changed or is there a positive decision regarding a preliminary building inquiry? This is getting better and better.There is a positive preliminary building permit.

The drawing!
Yes, and two measurements are clearly missing: the position of the trunk, and what remains on the right/east side.7 meters radius and 17 meters (56 feet) measured from the east to the trunk.... uh... to the trunks

The floor plan from Kbt wasn’t actually that narrow. I had imagined it to be worse.
Many people live on three levels. I don’t find that a problem.
There is a view of the tree from every room.
Downstairs there is the terrace with natural sunshade and a pleasant climate thanks to the tree. I would love to have a coffee with you on the terrace. Invitation to follow ☺
I have been quietly following the whole discussion here and I’m glad that at least Escoda didn’t make a big fuss right away.
In my opinion, the plot of land, especially if it was affordable, is not impossible at all and with a mature oak tree on the edge, even quite charming. L-shaped or T-shaped layouts will fit. Ask yourselves what is absolutely necessary and what is just nice to have! Without that underground garage—which I think is completely pointless—there will be flooding during heavy storms, it’s expensive, takes up space, and the car can just as well stay outside. It’s a car, not made of sugar, after all. So, without it, things could get easier. You might also have to compromise on the square meters; I think a professional will have to help you with that anyway. But give up? Never.
Besides, you’ll soon own a house somewhere near Leipzig as well because you will win the bet. Though not without compromises.
But, as the British say, there is no free lunch, and life is no bed of roses, as the North Germans say. Good luck. Karsten
