Dear Forum,
after allowing a bit more “rest time” for our plans, we are now considering the optimal positioning of our house on the plot, especially taking into account the orientation of the neighboring properties.
We have plot number 9 (parcel 929).
Parcel 949 is a waste container area (quite oversized at 30m² (320 ft²)) serving plots 3, 4, 5, and 6. This is a dead-end street (planned street B), which is why the waste container area is located next to us.
Plot number 6 will be a 9.30 m (30.5 ft) high gable-roofed semi-detached house with the ridge running west-east. This means three floor-to-ceiling windows will face directly onto our property. In front of this house is a garage situated 2 meters (6.5 ft) away from our plot (officially supposed to be 3 meters (9.8 ft), but apparently only 2 meters was approved). So the house wall starts at about ~5.50 meters (18 ft).
Plot number 10 to the south will be a bungalow with a garage directly adjoining our plot (fairly central, as there is a five-meter (16 ft) long driveway leading up to it).
We are wondering how best to position our house to avoid a feeling of excessive tightness.
Should it be as narrow as possible to maximize the west-facing garden and distance from the neighboring house to the west? Or rather positioned to have a south-facing garden, even if that means looking towards the neighbor’s garage wall?

This is illustrated in my post #28. I consider the mentioned regulation only as a legal basis for recommending such an area, but not as a mandatory requirement. In this context, the reasoning is given that the garbage trucks will not enter the cul-de-sac "Planstraße B".

In this context, the reasoning given is that the waste collection trucks will not enter the quasi-cul-de-sac "Planstraße B." There is also the textual stipulation of the development plan as well as the waste disposal regulations of the city of Ahlen that apply here. But honestly? I have already answered this question (see title), even with a drawing, and have mentally moved on. I’m not one for going over the same ground again and again.
