Hello everyone,
We are currently at a standstill with the planning of our house. We bought a plot of land last year. The dimensions are 15m x 45m (49ft x 148ft). The first 20 meters (66ft) are designated as building land, and the rest is a green strip.
We have now completed our first draft (see attachment) with the hope that, with the neighbor’s signature, we could extend our boundary development from the allowed 12m (39ft) to 15m (49ft). Unfortunately, he no longer wants to sign. So we have to redesign... And that’s where the problem starts... Here are some measurements:
Garage 8 x 6m (26ft x 20ft)
Utility/technical room 3 x 7m (10ft x 23ft)
We do not want a basement. The first idea was to rotate the garage 90 degrees. However, then the garage would interfere with the front door. Alternatively, the garage could be made one meter (3ft) narrower, but 7m (23ft) is already quite tight for two cars.
Now I hope you have some good ideas. We want to keep the layout of the house itself because it exactly meets our requirements.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards

This forum (and certainly the world outside) is full of people who manage with the same reasons for a large garage-utility room suite with a 12m (39ft) boundary setback.
The site plan clearly shows here that accessing the garage from the right side of the plan is a design flaw. The entire area in front of the house is needed as a turning space, at least for cars that can make use of a 7m (23ft) wide garage.

So, the situation is as follows:
I have to keep a distance of 5 meters (16 feet) from the street. This area is not included in the 20 meters (66 feet) I have available. That means I have 20 meters (66 feet) free to build.
The idea of driving in from the side referred to the orientation of the garage. Since the initial plan was to have the longer side facing right, that was the only option. If I rotate the garage by 90 degrees, we would enter from the front, which definitely makes more sense.
The garage dimensions would then be 7 by 6 meters (23 by 20 feet), including a workshop area.
