ᐅ How to position the house? Restriction due to the building boundary.

Hello, we’re unfortunately out of ideas and don’t know what to do next. Hopefully, someone here might have a tip for us!

We originally planned to position our house like this:

As you can see, we are quite limited by the curve and the 5 m (16 ft) allowable building setback line!
The house extends just under 1.4 m² (15 sq ft) beyond the boundary.
After applying for preliminary approval, we were denied permission to exceed the boundary.

We are quite disappointed and don’t know how to fit the house and double garage sensibly on the property without using up all the garden space. If we simply move the house further back, there would be almost 8 m (26 ft) of space in front of the house—which seems unnecessary!

The house faces north, so the garden is on the south side.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Frustrated regards,
Sonja

Well, if you are not allowed to build over the boundary, you will probably have to shift the building, even if that is not ideal for you. Alternatively, you could plan a different house...
By the way, a nice front garden, for example, screened from the street by a hedge, can also be useful... (a small second terrace, a separate play area for the children, etc.)

Hello Sonja,

Unfortunately, I cannot see the attached image.

@nordanney: Can you see the image?

If possible, redesign the house or move it back by 3 meters (10 feet).

@Doc.Schnaggels: Yes, no problems at all.

@nordanney Thanks! Then my browser is probably acting up again... 😡
