ᐅ Planning a Double Garage with Boundary Construction, 6x9 meters

Good morning everyone,
we are currently working on the planning of our garage.
It will be a solidly built garage and extension measuring 6x9 m (20x30 ft).
The zoning plan requires a green roof.
We are now facing the "problem" that our plot is sloped according to the terrain survey points.
In reality, it looks to us as if parts of the area were already excavated during site development. In the rear section (see marking), you can see the likely original "natural" ground level.
Because of the survey points, we are not allowed to build our garage higher than shown in the attached plan, relative to the natural ground level.
In addition, the green roof requires a thicker roof construction, which reduces the interior ceiling height. The design includes a concrete slab with tapered insulation plus green roof.
An electrically operated sectional door from Hörmann (model LPU42) is planned.
Looking at the installation dimensions, I see considerable difficulties in implementing this reasonably with the current design.
The marked door corresponds to the module size. However, the electrically operated version requires a minimum ceiling height of 2,235 mm (7 ft 4 in). With this design, ours is 2,125 mm (6 ft 11.7 in).
If I am reading this correctly, the maximum door we can install at our ceiling height would be the one marked in orange. This would result in a clear door height of 1,775 mm (5 ft 10 in). I really do not want to have to bend down to enter my garage.
Perhaps someone here has faced a similar issue and can share their experience.
Are there any options to get approval to build the garage a bit higher?

@Peppoderwilde What is your planner doing? They should be able to solve the problem. That’s how it should be. However, I don’t have a very good feeling about it. Recently, I asked for a revised design for the building authority. Ideally, with a ceiling height of 2,490 mm (98 inches). I only briefly reviewed the design before my appointment with the building authority. It didn’t go well. The design had the ceiling too high. When I confronted my planner about it, they simply said, “You wanted the ceiling that high…” The planner is not an architect… 🙁

The planner is not an architect…That wouldn’t be crucial; a structural engineer would also be suitable here. But apparently the "planner" is only a "working drawing supervisor," meaning a draftsman. That obviously won’t work.hanghaus2023 schrieb:

The whole thing, please, if possible, with a ceiling height of 2,490mm (98 inches)… for which I see no requirement here.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
