Hello, is 3 m (10 feet) wide enough for a driveway and parking space next to the house?

The plot width is about 17 m (56 feet), the house width is approximately 10.20 m (33.5 feet), and the garage width is about 3.80 m (12.5 feet) with adjacent boundary construction.

Originally, we planned the garage to be 3.15 m (10.3 feet) wide, with the driveway/parking area around 3.65 m (12 feet) wide.

Unfortunately, the building permit / planning permission application is already ready for submission, and making changes would be complicated.

A VW Passat is 2018mm (79 inches) including the mirrors, so it does fit after all.

On each side, there is only about 50 cm (20 inches) available for opening the doors and for getting in and out. Is that enough?

It's tight, but that way you avoid the luxury of both getting out together, and the passenger has to get out first.

I don't see this as a real problem, and it won't be any different with our carport.

That might have been true once. By now, it’s 2.06m (6 feet 9 inches).

It was just meant as a reference, and next time you buy a car, get electrically folding mirrors 🙂
