ᐅ Construction of a carport attached to the single-family house under the building permit / planning permission regulations

Hello dear experts,

This is again about the topic of carports.
We are planning a carport with an area of 7.75 x 4.1 meters (25.4 x 13.5 feet).
This puts the carport over the 30 m² (323 ft²) limit for which a request for exemption can be filed. However, it is partially outside the building envelope.

The carport is planned to be built directly attached to the existing house, therefore under the house’s roof overhang. This roof overhang covers 0.3 x 7.75 meters (1 x 25.4 feet) of the carport.

If you subtract this area, which is already covered anyway, the remaining area would be under 30 m² (323 ft²), thus falling within the scope of a simplified procedure with an exemption request.
My specific question: can the 0.3 x 7.75 meters (1 x 25.4 feet) of the roof overhang of our single-family house be deducted from the carport area?
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

The parking spaces are larger but located on a curve and directly next to the street. Unfortunately, we have to maintain a setback from the street, which is why these awkward dimensions result.

With such limited information, it’s not possible to give advice.

So, you have 7m (23 feet) width and 4m (13 feet) depth?

To be exact, 7.7m (25 ft) by 4.1m (13.5 ft)

The dimensions are provided in the original post; my concern was about the orientation. The car still sticks out about one meter (3 feet) at the back, and there is plenty of space between the cars. Please make a small sketch of the plot, house, and carport showing how the cars should be positioned.

This has already been ignored since post #3.
