Are future neighboring houses considered?

Insanity, a "little" bit of luck is a huge understatement. :-) Such an opportunity is unique. You can enjoy it for a long time and tell the story. Unfortunately, we still had to pick the best out of the remaining "rest." And that was not so easy. If you've never done it before, you have to walk around a lot and think to even come up with the pros and cons.

Hello,
this thread has somewhat drifted towards small talk. (That was interesting too.)
Maybe someone else would still like to directly address the initial question? :-)
Have you tried to plan for standing and still pending neighboring houses?

Of course, we include the already existing neighboring houses. But for us, it's simple because we have a building gap. There are neighbors on the right and left, the plot directly behind our garden is garden land and may not be built on :D. So there are no direct views from other neighbors into the garden or anything else.

But I don't really understand the question... especially in new development areas, the development plans are quite strict and there are building windows specified, so you know where the neighbor is allowed to place their house?? A view from large south-facing windows in the living room onto a garage is of course not so nice, but still better than looking directly into the other living room... for that, I would put a nice hedge or something along the property line and voilà, I look at a green wall and not at a gray garage :cool:.

That's how we did it too, but planned!!! Although there was no neighboring house yet, only the bungalow row behind the garden, I immediately included the garden with the position of the sun (-> future tree planting). Whether there will be another neighbor's house or not – I wanted to frame our house with greenery, here and there a feast for the eyes visible from the sofa or another line of sight. The bungalow houses further back (behind our south garden) are covered by several planted bushes and trees. Everything planned and so far everything is good... Then suddenly the house to the west of us appeared, and we were just marking out... When we moved in, the neighbors' edge development came with their huge double carport... I think the hedge will take 3 years to cover this carport. Now we always hear the car door in the evening on the sofa when our neighbors come home :( The roof peak takes away the sun on the terrace from 7 p.m. That is like an alarm clock for me in summer, finally getting up from the lounger and preparing the food :) This summer I will put two extra loungers in a hedge corner in the southeast – there will be extra sunshine there :D

I think there are worse things! For us it was fixed on which side the driveway should be built. And 99% then build their carport exactly there. The size of the buildings and the preference to build close to the front building line are similar in a new development area, so one can calculate how long you have the sun in the house or on the terrace.

Hello,
: The thing with the building envelopes is only partially correct. You can exceed or disregard them, you just have to maintain the minimum distance of the house to the boundary (4m in our case), you have to get it approved by the city (for example, we exceed the building envelope at three corners of the house because we oriented the house south differently than the building envelope), and you pay a bit more for the square meters outside the building envelope (I don't remember which fees those were).
In our building area, the plots and building envelopes are quite large, so each one has a lot of leeway. The driveway and garage are not defined at all.
What worries me the most is the future garage of our eastern neighbor. The plot is twice as large as all the others; surely someone with the necessary money will build there, who will afford a double garage with a pitched roof. Since his house will be located much further south than ours due to the plot size, the only question is whether he will place his garage on one boundary or the other, and if it's on our boundary, then the garage will be positioned so that we look at it from the living room and garden. Now that the plot is still empty, we see fields, with rising hills and forests behind them. :-(
: Yes, I also comfort myself with that variant. In an emergency, a long-term green, fairly tall plant frame around the garden, then at least I’ll always look at nature, even if it’s shaded. It’s just a pity about the great view, which we still hope for now anyway. :-)
