Hi friends,
I have the following question:
How would you plan a single-family house with a basement, courtyard, and garden on this plot?
Attachment: Plan showing two plots. However, only the "left" plot is intended for building.
Planned house size: 8 x 10–11 m (26 x 33–36 ft)
Orientation: Top of the plan is north
Plot width: 12 m (39 ft)
Since the right plot on the image belongs to my parents, I would be allowed to build right up to their property line.
However, I do not necessarily want to do that and would prefer to stay about 1 m (3 ft) away from the boundary.
I look forward to your opinions and suggestions.
Best regards
Birdie

In Bavaria, there are no building encumbrances. A transfer of setback area rights is carried out through a written declaration to the building authority, which is then filed with the construction records. Securing this in the land register is possible and, in my opinion, advisable, but not mandatory.
While in other federal states such as North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, or Hesse, an additional legal safeguard is required for border-adjacent construction permitted by planning law—such as a building encumbrance or neighbor’s consent—this requirement is absent in the Bavarian State Building Code. The assumption is that due to the fundamentally necessary involvement of neighbors, this can be omitted. In this case, the neighbor would need to explicitly raise objections to the building project.
If you want to build the houses so far displaced, your house would have to be located much further south, leaving you with only a small garden area but a very large front yard. And if you then plan windows facing east, your parents’ property would become less attractive in the event of a future sale, since you would always be overlooking their garden. Unless you want a tiny house, I also see only the potentially staggered semi-detached house as a reasonable option for development.

Das wäre nämlich höchstwahrscheinlich eh ihr Garten, weil ihr Haus dann, aufgrund der versetzten Grundstücke, eh weiter im Norden (Plan oben) stehen würde.
