ᐅ Garage: What does "attached" mean? Does it mean that the walls are physically connected?

Hello,
the development plan for my building area includes the following requirement:
Garages and covered parking spaces are:
- allowed as detached structures only with a gable roof, shed roof, or a green roof
- if attached to the main building, only allowed with a gable roof or a shed roof that extends from the main roof.
I am wondering how far the garage must be from the house to no longer be considered attached?
What about placing a prefabricated garage directly next to the house? Would that be considered attached? Or does attached mean that the walls are physically connected?
I would like to avoid a gable roof.

So if this has apparently been approved before, can one infer that they have to approve it again? Not necessarily. First, see @Nordlys, and second, the same exceptional conditions would have to apply to your case.

And can something like that still be done through a notification or simplified approval procedure? Usually not. In some federal states there is supposedly the option to obtain exemptions before submitting the building documents. Whether Baden-Württemberg (BW) is included and whether that is practical, I don’t know.

I bet the garages and carports you described were simply placed without approval. That would also be an option. Leave out the garage at first and build it later as a permit-exempt project.

Do you really need to get a permit for a prefabricated garage?There is no difference compared to masonry garages.
State building code?

We do have that here. Why wouldn't it be possible?
The connection is sealed with a metal sheet, and the lawn doesn't grow right next to the house. There are larger gravel stones in between, at least about 40cm (16 inches) distance.This is possible. Our garage is also attached to the house, and landscaping is mandatory according to the building permit / planning permission.
