ᐅ Is my planned carport still exempt from requiring a building permit?

Hello,
After 30 years, I would finally like to build a carport.
I would prefer to build it without a building permit/planning permission, but I think it might be too large for that since it needs to fit 2 cars.
In the old development plan from 30 years ago, a simple carport was already marked, but it was never built.
I now want to build my double carport similarly, but instead of 3.60m (12 feet) wide, it will be 6.00m (20 feet) wide.
Because of the roof overhang, it can only be about 4.75m (15.5 feet) deep, or I would need to move it 25cm (10 inches) closer to the street.
But I would be willing to take that risk myself.
Now to my questions:
I have to build the carport about 25cm (10 inches) away from the neighbor’s property line on one side because there is a wall between us, and I don’t want to place the carport on that wall.
- 1. So, the carport will be 5.00m (16.5 feet) deep along the property line on that side.
- 2. On the opposite side, the depth will logically also be 5.00m (16.5 feet). (Does this side count as a property boundary as well, since it is in the middle of my plot?)
- 3. The side facing the street will be 6.00m (20 feet) wide.
- 4. The back side of the carport will logically also be 6.00m (20 feet) wide. (Does this count as a boundary?)
According to what I found online, to be exempt from permitting in Lower Saxony, the built-up property boundary must not exceed 9.00m (30 feet) in depth and all other boundaries must total no more than 15m (50 feet).
So, if sides 2 and 3 count as boundaries, that would mean for all other boundaries: 6.00m + 5.00m + 6.00m = 17m (56 feet).
My question now is: do all four sides of the carport count as property boundaries (which would then mean 17m for “all other boundaries”)?
Or how should this be interpreted?
I would really appreciate an answer.
Thank you

Which planner? This is an existing house.A large concrete slab needs to be properly designed. I don’t think the original poster is capable of that.

A large CP needs to be planned. I don't think the OP is capable of that.It's nice that you feel able to judge me. Just so you know: I partly built our own house myself and have enough practical skills. Whether you believe I am capable or not is not up for debate here. I find that quite presumptuous.

Nice that you feel able to judge me.Reading your posts, I can only come to the same conclusion. Unfortunately, your contributions suggest that you have little knowledge of the subject. It’s not a problem if you then decide to have a professional handle the planning.
