Of course, we would like to build as close to the street as possible in order not to waste the garden.
First, separate yourself from this idea.
A) You also need space in front for parking, cleaning bikes, go-karts, buffer to the street, …, b) there is no waste, because space is needed everywhere, and c) the house should be planned according to the floor plan and the light incidence in the house.
The garden itself is a manually created green area, so the front garden can also be planned.
Unfortunately, I cannot load the two pictures, so I cannot see where south is in the pics?
But keep in mind that others are not stupid and have no idea. There is usually a reason why it is built that way.
For infiltration, you go to the water department.
Then you take graph paper and consider an approximate floor plan. You think about where the garden would make sense. (I would probably create a west garden on that plot), then you submit a building inquiry with the sketch, then a soil investigation report.
