ᐅ Higher Privacy Barrier Behind a Code-Compliant Fence?

Hello dear community,

this is my first post in this forum, and I look forward to your feedback!

My partner and I have found a plot of land in Baden-Württemberg that we would like to buy. It is a corner lot of about 770 sqm (8,293 sq ft). There is no sidewalk around the plot.

We have the following concerns: According to the development plan, the enclosure bordering the streets may only be 0.80 m (2.6 ft) high. This is not sufficient as privacy screening. The plot is located in such a way that our garden would lie exactly between the two intersecting streets, so a privacy screen is desired.

Our question is whether we can set up the legally compliant 0.80 m (2.6 ft) high enclosure around the property and plant a hedge behind it at a certain distance (for example, 1.5 m (5 ft)) that would function as a privacy screen (e.g., about 1.70 m (5.6 ft) high).

Would this be legally allowed, or would the hedge then be considered part of the enclosure and therefore be too high?

If it is allowed: Where can I find information on how high the hedge may be and at what distance from the enclosure it must or may be planted?

Since we have not bought the plot yet, this is an important factor for us, as everything else fits well—the good location, wonderful view, and quiet neighborhood.

I look forward to your feedback.

Good luck

Why should that be the case? I am not aware of any regulation stating that no clearance area may fall within sight triangles.

I was also referring to the privacy screen itself: none at all within the triangle, regardless of any boundary clearance that might be met there, and behind that, only starting from a distance equal to one times the boundary setback.
