ᐅ Which plot would you choose? Single-family home with a double garage

Hello everyone!
I’m planning to build a new house.
It will be a single-family home (about 150m² (1,615 sq ft)) with a double garage.
I have registered for two plots of land, and the allocation decision will be made on Tuesday.
Favorite 1: Number 83
Favorite 2: Number 80
Since I built a house only six years ago, I have unfortunately moved to the bottom of the social housing priority list. Most likely, plot 83 will be taken before I get the chance (the marketer is still waiting for documents from other interested parties).
However, there are apparently no other interested parties for plot number 80, so my chances there are quite good!
The downside of plot 83 would be a row of trees that (exactly as marked) run along the front of the house/driveway/garden… which would negatively affect the planned photovoltaic system.
On the other hand, it has good dimensions.
The downside of plot 80 is its unusual “shape.”
But would it still be possible to build a nice house with a double garage there?
It would probably be better for photovoltaic yield, and being in a cul-de-sac would mean more peace and quiet.
The plot is also somewhat cheaper overall compared to 83.
I don’t need a large garden.
What do you think?
I’m attaching a plan for you.

What are your creative ideas regarding the garage and the house?You’ll need to provide the measurements of the building boundary and whether the garage is allowed to be constructed outside of it. Apparently, the building boundary restricts the southern area for garden use, which might also affect the garage location.ypg schrieb:
You need to check the boundary setback dimensions and whether the garage is allowed to be built outside of that boundary. Apparently, the setback restricts the southern part to garden use, possibly also as a parking space for the garage. Sorry, I had unfortunately forgotten that.
The following also applies here:
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Plot ratio: 0.5
Everything for plot 83 should be clear here.
Also, a small idea from me...
Turquoise = Garage
Purple = House
Green = Garden
Gray = Paved area

The floor area ratio may be exceeded by 40% according to the development plan.
With my "idea," I am slightly over that limit... but I think this can be managed somehow (eco-paving, etc.).
The garage will need to be built somewhat smaller. The house might also be 9.5m x 11.5m (31ft 2in x 37ft 9in)...
The image of the "idea" is oriented north.

By the way, with such a large impermeable surface, many building permits / planning permissions require 2-3 trees. Where would those be planted?

wiltshire18 Apr 2025 11:43I am constantly surprised by how much space is paved over for cars in the form of garages and parking areas. This is by no means a criticism of @Buddy90 and his perfectly understandable preferences.
It simply shows that price pressure per square meter leads to such small plots for single-family homes that there is no longer room for proper water management and a comfortable microclimate.
I do not exempt myself from this madness; objectively speaking, I have too many cars myself.
