ᐅ Placement of House, Terrace, Carport, and More within the Building Envelope

We have started planning our plot, and with a large building area of about 35x40m (115x131 feet), we currently don’t have any problems. What concerns me, however, is balancing the following compromise:
1. Maximizing the distance from the street to reduce noise and increase privacy
2. Minimizing the distance from the street to avoid enlarging the little-used front yard and losing garden space behind the house. Technical connections will be more expensive, and costs for paving longer driveways will also increase, etc.
I need about 6 meters (20 feet) between the property boundary and the garage to be able to park a car on my property in front of the garage. If I move further away from the street, the garage shifts southward due to the diagonal northern boundary line of the lot, and so do the house and terrace. This means the outdoor areas would move from the more attractive south side to the less attractive north side.
What would be a reasonable compromise here, and do two or three meters more distance from the street really make a difference? It’s also worth mentioning that hardly any traffic is expected since the plot is located on a dead-end street.
In our initial draft, we "drew" a 6x9m (20x30 feet) prefabricated garage, a 3.5x6m (11x20 feet) carport roof, and a house measuring 12x11m (39x36 feet). On the far left in green are 3 meters (10 feet) of the plot that must be kept free as an access right. The dark green hedges were initially assumed to be one meter (3 feet) deep.
Have I completely missed an important consideration in my planning? Thanks in advance for all advice!

You have a huge plot of land, so you can comfortably shift the house slightly toward the west. Unless you plan to subdivide the property later, in which case that would be less than ideal.

What we find interesting about the townhouse is that wardrobes can be placed along all walls on the upper floor, including the exterior walls. I have also lived twice in architect-designed houses as a tenant, and I really like that style, but I fear the budget won't allow for something like that.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your floor plans.
What does the surrounding development look like? Is there a cadastral map? Maybe check in geodata.

The green part is labeled as a green space, while the orange area is classified as "other special zone."
There is currently no neighboring construction. I found a cadastral map online, but it does not yet show any subdivision of the plot. The entire new development area is still one large parcel.

So the southern plot can be developed soon as well.
What is allowed to be built according to the building plan / zoning plan? A single-family house, semi-detached house, or multi-family house?
