Am I correct in understanding that I have no chance of building a nice small garden wall in the front yard if the following is stated in the development plan?
“Enclosures in the front yard area may only be made in the form of hedges... Other building materials (e.g., metal and wooden fences) may be used if they are integrated into the hedges in such a way that they are visually not noticeable.”
Most likely only if it is hidden behind a hedge.

How high is the "small" wall supposed to be?I haven’t thought about that in detail yet, but definitely no higher than 50cm (20 inches) with smaller turrets.According to the regulations, the clear answer is NO, it’s not allowed.
A metal and wooden fence that becomes overgrown is generally only necessary if you have a dog that tends to run away.
Would you also want to have a gate?
Is there any specification regarding the maximum height of the hedge?
I’m taking a bit of a guess here since I don’t know how your neighborhood is—whether neighbors are likely to report issues, whether they themselves violate regulations, or how strict the municipality or city is, etc.
If the height is 50cm (20 inches), it wouldn’t be a problem to plant a hedge directly behind it that would easily grow above and beyond in both height and depth. That way, you’d achieve the appearance of a hedge while still having a wall that prevents dogs from going into the bushes. By the way, even a thorny hedge would be enough to keep dogs away voluntarily.
This way, no one would probably complain later. It could even be interpreted as a slightly raised curb. I think what they want to avoid is a metal bar fence with plastic or gabion walls.
It’s a different matter if there are small towers—then, presumably, fence panels would be required in between, right? That would be too risky for me because it attracts much more attention and is quite expensive, especially if you might have to remove it again later, probably along with a small wall as well.

The required height for the hedge is, I believe, specified at 90 cm (35 inches). Thanks for your assessment. I also think that no one would complain about such a low wall, but if it ever gets reported, I would probably be at a disadvantage. Until then, it will take some time, and I will keep an eye on whether anything is happening in the front yards of the other builders.
