ᐅ Garage on a corner plot: Is turning around possible?

We have purchased a plot of land that is adjacent to another house at the back and is accessed via a shared narrow driveway. Due to the zoning plan and setback requirements, the garage must be located at the rear rather than facing the street (additionally, the front is on the sunny side, so it wouldn’t make sense to place it there). The neighboring house has a gate for vehicle access, so we cannot turn around on their property (marked as "neighbor" in the sketch). The driveway itself is 3.20m (10.5 feet) wide, and the arrow in the sketch indicates the direction of the street.

We would like to install a gate as well (either a telescopic sliding gate or a folding gate) about 4.5m (15 feet) wide, plus a separate pedestrian door for people to pass through (shown in red in the sketch). Do you think this makes sense? Our main concern is whether it will still be possible to drive out forwards afterwards.

Do you have any other suggestions, particularly regarding the placement of the waste containers and bicycle storage?

Please show us more of the overall situation. I can't see where the neighboring property has its access.

With 8 meters (26 feet) width, turning around should definitely be possible. That shouldn't be a problem. The question is whether you want to deal with the maneuvering.

Personally, I would never let my garage entrance and exit be obstructed by a gate like that.

I wouldn’t put a gate in the way (and if the cars are parked as shown, I wouldn’t place the bicycles there either).

According to the sketch, I believe that with a driveway 3.2 m (10.5 feet) wide and a gate 4.5 m (14.8 feet) wide, you won’t be able to reach your parking space. Try setting this up on a supermarket parking lot on a Sunday using cardboard boxes. Maneuvering might be possible if you remove the trash bins. If you want to keep the parking space as it is, then leave out the gate.

Can’t you just turn around on the shared driveway? For example, reverse out of your driveway onto the common access path and then drive forward? (Not sure if that area is tight or not, just trying to understand the situation first.) Or did you want to turn around in the space between your gate and garage? In my opinion, that would be rather impractical.

I’ve marked it in blue roughly how I imagine it (basically like @mayglow described). Is this okay? I could set it back up to the top left where it says "Neighbor," but I guess that might not be necessary?
