Well then.
Before you start attacking everyone here who has made an effort and shown interest by thinking about your property, and since you haven’t responded to Escroda’s request to post sketches of your ideas, maybe you should take a step back.
The forum members, including myself, can only respond to what you provide here.
That includes drawings of the plot with the possible building envelope, as well as information about your ideas or financing.
However, all of that is very sparse.
It seems you don’t really want help. It’s a shame, because there could be a lot of valuable input for you if you shared more about the desired house or the dimensions of the plot. With such minimal information, it naturally results in posts that wouldn’t be necessary.

Well, I understand “interest” differently. Some forum members more or less called me an idiot. Anyway, let’s leave it at that.

Financing is not the issue. At first, I just wanted ideas for L-shaped building forms in general. Later, I wanted to bring in our plot with its dimensions and challenges.

Of course I want help. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have started this thread. And indeed, I have received quite a few useful suggestions from colleagues here. Many thanks again.

@Oakland ... then get to the point ... we need exact measurements ... exactly where the oak is located, and so on.

And then sketch out how you envision it. Your underground garage also needs a reasonably good driveway with a slope that is not too steep, otherwise there will be issues with the front bumper of the car, etc.

Well, if after several requests for a sketch nothing comes from you, and our surveyor acknowledges the possibility of building but it’s clear that there isn’t much room to expand, it’s reasonable to question what this still has to do with the granny flat, natural light through the driveway to the underground garage, etc.

And if you describe yourself as an amateur under special protection, others here will bluntly point out that your dream house will likely remain just that—a dream as you imagine it.

You shouldn’t be surprised if you’re eventually called a stubborn idiot when we have to extract every detail from you and important information is simply withheld.

Nobody has called you a fool. The information you provided, along with impressions from photos and aerial images, simply raises doubts about the feasibility of the project. Nothing more, nothing less. You shouldn’t take it personally or feel unfairly treated. This is purely an objective assessment of the situation.

I would be glad if you could share more information, sketches, plans, etc., about your project. I believe you can only benefit, as the advice here in the forum is free, and any criticism is ultimately constructive for you.

I really hope for your sake that this won’t turn out to be a pipe dream. If the joke about the chainsaw was serious... then it might work... but it’s a shame about the tree!

We are planning the underground garage just below the setback area to the neighbor.

Don’t setback areas also apply underground?

Unfortunately, I can no longer edit: I had a lapse in reasoning.
