ᐅ Extension to an Existing Multi-Family House – Setback Requirements from the Property Boundary?

Hello,
I have the opportunity to extend the existing house of my grandfather. His house is approximately 13.5 meters (44 feet) long, 9.75 meters (32 feet) wide, and 11 meters (36 feet) high. The side intended for the extension is designed as a fire wall, as the original plan was to basically add another part to the house. However, this was never realized.
What should definitely be possible is to complete this extension now, but it is too large for my needs. Additionally, I would like to have a garage.
Therefore, my plan is to build the garage as a boundary wall structure and then attach my residential building to it, which would be roughly square in shape. Moving it further away would be difficult, as the property boundary would end at some point. In my opinion, an advantage would be that the upper floor could have windows again, which may not offer a particularly nice view but would at least provide some natural light.
The development plan allows for 3 full floors. I would prefer to build a 1.5 to 2-story structure, with a height of about 7 to 8 meters (23 to 26 feet).
Are there any opinions on this, especially regarding legal building regulations? The applicable law is in Lower Saxony. I can upload pictures or plans later, I’m just on the go right now.
Thanks in advance for the input

The land registry office has been commissioned for the subdivision (a plot division was not possible) I wouldn’t have recommended that. So the boundary line has already been decided? Does that also determine the location of the new building? What about the windows in the “bakery”?
What am I even asking...

Hello Fragebogen, I guess I will still have to fill you out Since that hasn’t happened yet, it seems the interest in advice is rather limited.

Especially due to the special zoning area and the building boundary resulting in the southwest part of the plot, there has been consideration to amend the development plan. The municipality would like a cost coverage declaration for this. Has anyone done this before? What costs are typically involved?

What approximate costs are involved?There is a deep, dark hole... Did the local authority not provide any estimate?
Just the costs for public notices alone will be in the four-figure range. Then there is the original plan from 1964. So it needs to be completely redrawn. If it only concerns the one plot, the costs for the drafting part are comparable to those of an official site plan, so about 2,000 (approx. 2K). But there still needs to be a written section and a justification. If there are difficult neighbors, delays, redesigns, and redrawings can follow... And who is going to do it? The local authority itself? A planning office? Commissioned by you? Or by the local authority?
Maybe you’ll get away with 5,000 (approx. 5K), but it could also end up being 50,000 (approx. 50K).

The municipality would like a declaration of cost coverage for this. From whom exactly? From you alone: better not, see post #28; from all potential builders jointly: jointly and severally as individuals (I hear Wim Thoelke saying "Riiisiko"); so do you want to form an association for this and fund it with the appropriate special assets?

Maybe you get away with 5,000, maybe it ends up being 50,000.It’s only about that one plot in the special zone, exactly. The general residential area can (for my part) stay as it is. If the municipality naturally sees it as a blank check to replan half the village, the hole in the wallet looks very big. The municipality would commission a planning office for this.
How do you assess the likelihood of total costs under €10,000?
