Chriscross22 Apr 2017 17:15Hello everyone,
Our architect included a carport with a storage room in our house plans right from the start. The building permit / planning permission was submitted and approved. The house is now built, but the carport manufacturer we initially chose no longer produces this type of carport. How much can I deviate from the approved plans without causing any issues? The original plan was for a carport measuring 6.5m x 9m (21 ft 4 in x 29 ft 6 in) with an integrated storage room of 3m x 6m (9 ft 10 in x 19 ft 8 in) and a flat roof. The carport is located 1m (3 ft 3 in) away from the neighbor’s property line.
Location: Lower Saxony, Hannover region.
Thank you for your help

Instead of 6.50 meters (21 feet 4 inches), maybe 6.80 meters (22 feet 4 inches).
The slight incline, somewhat like a lean-to, should now go straight down.
Something along these lines.

The important factor is the 9-meter (30 feet) length along the boundary. If the carport is located at the corner, there are two boundaries, and depending on the federal state or local development plan, different maximum boundary lengths may apply.
If the garage extends more than 3 meters (10 feet) away from the boundary at the rear, the 30 cm (12 inches) should not be an issue.

Which direction are you planning to widen? Will the pathway become narrower, or the area next to the property boundary? If you have 1 meter (3.3 feet) to the boundary, that can be a critical measurement. There are often regulations like “1 meter (3.3 feet) or directly on the boundary…” In that case, you may not be allowed to build as close as 0.7 meters (2.3 feet) to the boundary. You should clarify this, and your architect should normally be able to answer this without any problem. However, always keep in mind that they might be doing this for the first time ^^
