Hello everyone,
I am planning to build a house in the next few years. Nothing concrete yet, and the start date is still uncertain, but probably in 2017. So there should still be enough time. At the moment, I am looking into possible building sites.
Among other options, I can use my parents’ large garden as a building plot. From the big property, I could have about 640 m² (6,900 sq ft). Although it is not yet serviced, the land itself would be very affordable. Therefore, this option is currently quite promising. What is problematic, however, is that the plot is relatively narrow and the neighboring houses are quite close. To the left is my parents’ house, and to the right of the plot are the neighbors’ garage and house. The map is oriented to the north. This is the general situation.
It is important to me that the garage is not placed between my parents’ house and mine, and that I am not too close to the neighbors but also not too close to my parents’ house. Six meters (20 feet) between two houses is quite little, isn’t it? What do you think?
Do you have any suggestions on how to best fit a house of about 11 x 10 m (36 x 33 ft) and a large garage, max. 7 x 8 m (23 x 26 ft), onto this plot? Drawings are welcome.
Thank you in advance!

That’s the downside of building next door later. The same could happen to YOU on another lot.There is a solution for this too: choose a properly large lot.

Here is an update. I now have the plot north of my parents’ property. It is rather narrow but quite long, with a total area of exactly 850 m² (9149 sq ft). There is no zoning plan, which was confirmed by the local authority to keep things simpler.
The utility connections are expected to start in August and will come from the green plot at the bottom right, running along the east end of my plot. Therefore, placing the garage there would not be very practical. Ideally, the house would be built in the northwest, but that would require a very long driveway, which would also take up space.
That’s why we considered the option shown here. The dimensions of the house and garage are not fixed but are just for better visualization. Do you have any other suggestions?
