Hello,
I own a property, a three-family house, and I now want to build a house for myself on the quite large plot of land. The width of the plot is only 9.5 meters (31 feet), but the length is over 70 meters (230 feet). The regulation states that there must be at least 3 meters (10 feet) between the new building and the property boundary, but when I look at the existing houses, none of them comply with the 3-meter (10 feet) rule at all. Could there be special regulations?
Regards

Have you looked at the area on Google Maps in satellite view? I don't want to exaggerate, but there are dozens of such infill developments there.Not in the immediate vicinity.
The Ehestorfer Weg is very long, and I believe different zoning plans apply there. East of Grotelerweg, there is no infill development.
Edit: I am personally familiar with Ehestorfer Weg.

And regarding the design planning – there are also creative architects in Hamburg and the surrounding area. Of course, it’s a challenge – at least it should be for the planners – but in the end, the result will be an interesting architecture that you don’t see every day.
Go to the building authority (building permit / planning permission office) in person, treat the staff there as you would expect to be treated yourself, and you will find that they are willing to help you… as long as your request is feasible.

@Bauexperte I also think that good results can come from this.
The only question is whether an architect is allowed to really "go wild" here. At least, I hope so.
@ypg That’s a good and important point.
At the very least, I would do something to ensure the crane can get to the back, because I would have the garage demolished.
@toxicmolotow
I agree with you. However, I’m not sure if the entire street allows development in the rear section.
At least, I can definitely say that 3 or 4 houses down, there is a house built in the rear section.
I will go to the building authority on Monday or Tuesday and hope that they can help me.

I don’t want to exaggerate, but there are dozens of such backland developments.The zoning plan for the relevant area matches the backland development – apart from outbuildings, there is nothing else. In the area where backland development exists, a different zoning plan applies. Along the street alone, there are 10 (!) different zoning plans, which can be easily accessed via the City of Hamburg’s planning portal:

Would it be possible to build directly adjacent to the existing building? Then it might be possible to partially use the existing building services.
Would that then also be considered backland development?
