ᐅ Garage Location on the Property – A Decision-Making Guide

Hello everyone,
We are considering a building plot that is currently being reclassified from former farmland to residential land in the development plan, together with the municipality / local building authority. During this process, the road layout was changed, and now I am uncertain about the best way to position the garage on the property. Since the west / south side is practically unbuildable, I would like to have a fixed covered terrace on the west side, which could potentially include a lounge area, barbecue spot, or an open conservatory.
This is not primarily about the floor plan; however, the schematic drawings attached represent the situation quite well. I would be very grateful for your thoughts. 🙂
If any information is missing, I will be happy to provide it.
Thank you very much in advance! 🙂

The east/west orientation is approximately +/- 0°.
The plot slopes very slightly in this direction:

What do you mean by very slightly? Could you provide the elevation values of the corner points? If the plot has not been surveyed yet, the geoportal might also help.

Top left 352.7 m (1157.5 ft) and then it rises towards the bottom right to 353.3 m (1159.6 ft) = 0.6 m (2 ft) difference over the diagonal length of 30 m (98 ft).

Top left 352.7 m and then it rises diagonally down to the bottom right at 353.3 m = 0.6 m (0.7 yd) difference over a diagonal length of 30 m (33 yd).So, skewed linearly? - the diagonal should actually measure over 39 m (43 yd), so these are probably not exactly the corner points (?)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Nothing has been formally surveyed yet, and the plot size is still partly with the local authority.
The plot slopes slightly toward the upper left corner.

No measurements have been taken yet, and the plot size is still partly with the municipality. How do you even “know” the “basic parameters” that supposedly “define” the plot so far? I have never seen a plot like this before: even parcels that haven’t been finally surveyed usually don’t have such precisely square and right-angled boundaries in practice, and even the most idealized planned roads tend to have some curve, often following contour lines. Is this really a former airfield taxiway being subdivided, or are we actually looking at an almost rhomboid-shaped plot of around 800 square meters (8,600 square feet)?
In my experience, even the most theoretically complicated land consolidation procedures have never produced such “stem-cell-like” plots. Usually, there is something irregular—an angled curve or something similar. If development infrastructure is being installed above ground, almost all elevation levels usually change significantly as well.

Maybe you can answer the question from post #4.
“Are there any photos of the situation? I really can’t imagine such a 90-degree bend.”
Is there no aerial image available in the geoportal?
