Development plan - preservation of shrubs - comprehension question

When talking about depth in relation to plots of land, depth is indeed meant. I presumably see a strip along the entire length here. Or the photo shows something else. Try sketching the tree population onto the piece of rectangle (plot). The trees are quite normal. You don't have to be a botanist to recognize that trees do lose leaves. Tip: go for a forest walk tomorrow. Take a good look at the trees, even in an older residential area. I think a strip of shrubs would do you good ;) Sometimes you have to force people into their happiness... uh... planting. Hehe

Honestly, I can’t really follow?! As I said, the plot measures 18 x 32 meters. At the end of the long side, there is an 18m wide and 8m deep strip of this “scrub” – across the full width and depth. So the actual plot – the somehow usable area – is 18 x 24 meters. That’s the point. Actually, the house should face the street with the gable end... if you place a house that is 12.50 meters long directly at the 3-meter street boundary, there remain 8.50 meters behind the house for terrace and garden.

3 meters from the property line + 12.50m house + 4 meters terrace + 4.50 meters lawn + 8 meters “scrub” = 32 meters

Meaning: house very close to the street, yet relatively little space behind it.

Yes, these may all be luxury problems, but I’m just thinking about it – that can’t be wrong.

By the way, the width isn’t much better:

3 meters to the neighbor + 9.10m house = 5.90 meters left for two parking spaces / carport / garage... sounds pretty tight to me as well, but I’ve never built a house before :D

A sketch would be easier. You have to make it anyway for yourself. It is not apparent in the photo. But I understand that. However, I think that the new development area is being created on an old field. Of course, you can roughly clear the "forest" first and then plant the required trees according to the development plan. The only thing is that a garden does not only consist of boring lawn area. And that is why there is also the regulation for mandatory planting.

2 x transplanted means, by the way, that nurseries transplant plants twice during their growth. This makes them strong. Whether tall or wide, I don’t know. At least they have a good size, as indicated in the text with 150-175 height. They are then practically perennial, as they are only transplanted during a certain time of the year. If they were not transplanted every year, the roots would find their way and the plants could no longer be transplanted.

2 x transplanted means, by the way, that nurseries transplant plants twice during their growth. This makes them strong. Whether tall or wide, I don’t know. At least they already have a good size, as indicated in the text with a height of 150-175. They are essentially perennial because they are only transplanted during a certain time of the year. If they were not transplanted every year, the roots would find their way and the plants could no longer be transplanted.

But that will be expensive

That will be expensive

I just thought that while writing as well. It won’t be cheap hardware store stuff then. In any case, the years of maintenance make the purchase more costly.

8 meters deep strip of this "brush"

That doesn't look like 8 m to me at all, but of course it's something different when you stand in front of it. That's just one row of small trees, right? You can prune them very well, roughly once to height and width, then every year remove individual branches and shorten the others. Unfortunately, pruning promotes good growth, so be a bit restrained.

I am very curious what the building authority will say. Whether one possibly has to remove and replant, but that will be very expensive if you have to buy small trees like described.
