ᐅ L-shaped floor plan or rather rectangular with a smaller garden?

Hi,
we are about to purchase a plot and are considering how to position the house on it. There is a horse chestnut tree near the street, which causes the building line to bend (see attachment). An initial floor plan draft shows a rectangular house (11m x 9m) with a gable roof, starting 6 meters (usual 3 meters (10 feet) from the street plus 3 meters (10 feet) due to the 9.5m (31 feet) radius of the horse chestnut) from the street toward the garden. Now I am thinking of incorporating the 8m x 3m (26 feet x 10 feet) front yard into the floor plan to gain more garden space. For example, this could be done with an 8m x 7m (26 feet x 23 feet) house with a gable roof plus a 4m x 4m (13 feet x 13 feet) flat roof extension.
What do you think?

@kbt9: I have marked the 10x10 house on the site development plan.

Plot plan with blue border, blue house block, and orange area.

Where will you locate your parking spaces?

On the right side, garage/carport and on the area that cannot be built on due to the horse chestnut tree, guest parking with grass pavers.

Could you sketch that out? Your plot is supposed to be number 426, right? I don’t really see a 10x10m (33x33 ft) area set back 3m (10 ft) from the street.

Here you go 😉
I made the same mistake regarding the solid line 😀

I also thought that the solid line was the property boundary 🙄
