Boundary construction on a non-rectangular plot (NRW)

I have now called the surveying office today to clarify the matter. It is a "privileged garage" because:

[*]it does not exceed 3 meters in height
[*]the adjoining wall is not longer than 9 meters
[*]the distance to the street does not exceed 5 meters

Quote: "As a result, the garage loses all distance requirements." Furthermore, the surveying office justified this approach with the fact that almost no property boundaries run at right angles. I hope I have avoided community service this time ;)

Thank you for the helpful contributions!

Great. The only question is why the architect doesn't know something like that.

Great. Just wondering why the architect doesn't know something like that.

Probably for the same reason that, in my opinion, a judge would first have to spend several hours in the library. If some areas weren't incredibly tricky, experts wouldn't be needed.

Well, but she knew that under certain circumstances you have to pay attention to something. You can expect her to inform herself. After all, that’s what she is paid for. If the customer had relied on the statement and not in an internet forum and ultimately checked with the surveyor, the garage would have been significantly reduced without reason. Basic rule with us. Before making a fuss, you should be 110% sure that you are not wrong.

Well, but she knew that one might have to pay attention to something there under certain circumstances. You can certainly expect her to inform herself. After all, that's what she gets paid for.

Apparently, she already informed herself better than the average of her colleagues if she knows such obscure corners of tricky regulations and only lacks knowledge of all the exceptional reasons.

If the customer had relied on the statement and not in an internet forum and ultimately asked the surveyor, the garage would have been unnecessarily significantly reduced. Basic rule with us. Before you make a fuss, you should be 110% sure that you are not mistaken.

Experience shows that half, i.e., 55% certainty, suffices for judges in the first instance to issue a verdict based on their also not all-encompassing perfect knowledge. And even a specialist lawyer does not encounter this case constellation daily, and the trainee quickly found one reference too few. Then the verdict is accepted without anyone noticing the error.

Doesn't count for me. If you bring something like that up, you have to know what you're talking about. Better an architect who doesn’t even put something like that on the table. I also can't program a safety control system with half-knowledge, and if the operator loses an arm during setup because the machine started spinning, saying "Oh crap. Well, I didn’t really look into it that closely..." Or the mason says in the end, "Oh, bitumen felt goes under the first layer? Crap..."
