ᐅ Finding a Plot – Boundary Compliance for Carports – Experiences

Good morning,
We are currently still looking for a plot of land and have several options.
One with the ideal size (1024 sqm (11023 sqft)) is out for me because it faces north.
Another plot in the same development has the perfect south-facing orientation for us but is only 735 sqm (7913 sqft) with dimensions of 21 m x 35 m (69 ft x 115 ft). According to the development plan, a 3 m (10 ft) setback from the street must be maintained; there is no specific setback listed for neighboring plots, but usually, it is also 3 m (10 ft).
Our house is 12.15 m (40 ft) wide (including a Frisian gable, which should face the street/north side).
The builder said yesterday that here in Schleswig-Holstein, for a carport, the 3 m (10 ft) boundary to the neighbor does not have to be maintained if it is no longer than 9 m (30 ft). Unfortunately, the mayor couldn’t give me a definite answer; I will ask the building authority next week.
This would mean that, maintaining the 3 m (10 ft) setback on the house side, we would have 5.85 m (19 ft) left on the other side for a double carport.
Does anyone have experience with this? Do you think 5.85 m (19 ft) is enough space for a carport? I would also like to store the trash bins there.
Best regards – Vetti

We also knew what we wanted to build but looked for and acquired the plot accordingly.
I find 5.85 meters (19 feet) a bit tight. Try to get 6 meters (20 feet). Make your house slightly narrower. An alternative could be a single carport and a separate parking space for the other car. They don’t necessarily have to be inside. After all, they are just cars. Karsten

based on the contractor’s standard floor plan), but it pretty much exactly meets the requirements we absolutely need.So you force yourselves into the contractor’s standard, in other words, the average. Nicely put 😉
What was the question again? Whether 5.85 meters (19 feet 2 inches) is enough for a double carport. The rest is none of our concern.
This is in Schleswig-Holstein, where there are plots of land to choose from, and it is common to pick your house first and then decide exactly where to build it. It is also common to stick closely to the standard. That’s why we build much more affordably than in southern Germany. Here you can still get a detached house built solidly from Ytong blocks, plastered, with 600 square meters (6,460 square feet) of land for around 250,000 in more rural areas. And land prices of 45 to 50 per square meter (4 to 4.6 per square foot) are still possible. Karsten

735 sqm with the dimensions 21m x 35m (23yd x 38yd) Are these the actual cadastral measurements, or rounded figures from a property listing? In the latter case, the question might not even be relevant, since the plot could be 30cm (12 inches) wider or narrower.

The one with the ideal size (1024 m² (11,022 sq ft)) is ruled out for me because it faces north. With so much more space, it should be possible to arrange it cleverly. Several people in this forum have a knack for that. Post the floor plan and both plots here and be surprised.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
