Try to get something decent for one unit. Who knows if a second one will ever become a topic and what requirements there will be then - or not. Who knows what easements might come in 20 years in the context of densification.

If I’m not mistaken, some current infill development zoning plans were hastily created based on a kind of emergency high school diploma special regulation for their simplified adoption; resulting in errors from which future processes will "learn" more complexity. Infill development as such is a well-intentioned idea but often leads to odd-shaped plots and private lanes from which garbage bins have to be rolled out to the municipal road.

Yes, that is a popular method that is very often used in rural areas. Legally not entirely clear, definitely complex, expensive, and complicates modern floor plan design. However, I do not see the necessity here at all. Everything here looks like unplanned inner area (§34 Building Code). A (re)development of the cleared plot is definitely possible. And possible boundary development to the west should also be undisputed. The questions are whether an extension must be attached there, whether that also applies to the east, how high the surrounding development is, what percentage of the respective plot area is built upon, how the uses look, whether factual building boundaries or even building lines can be identified. The plot is not narrow. It offers many possibilities. Only that an inexperienced planner does not recognize this. I am also not a design talent, so just a suggestion to overcome possible mental blocks: Standard terraced house floor plan possible, size and creative changes dependent on budget and of course on the answers to the above questions

That would be the simplest option but unfortunately not possible because the neighbor in the west has windows right on the boundary everywhere. Blocking his kitchen would not be very nice.

Well, windows in boundary walls are, to my knowledge, not permitted. And if they are, they would have to be f30 windows.

So, to put it bluntly: anyone who does something like that should be thankful to have been allowed to have the windows for so long.

However, I don't know how it is with existing buildings.

Oh! It depends on how old the building stock is. So, the Civil Code has existed since 1896. Here in the Rhineland, the Code Civil dating back to Napoleon applied before, in other regions the Prussian Land Law. What they all have in common is that windows in the boundary wall were initially not permitted. However, a neighbor could allow the other, whereby the form of permission was not prescribed. So there was no public protection, only civil law agreements, with the today known problems of proof. I don't know how it was in Baden-Württemberg. I would go to the building authority and look into the neighbor file. In case of doubt, the neighbor must prove that his building is legally located there. But even if he does not succeed, the possibilities to enforce the closure of the windows strongly depend on the individual case. Doesn't your friend know someone who is better familiar with approval planning on site? I am not sure whether a building preliminary inquiry with this floor plan answers the questions raised. In any case, it cannot be limited to purely planning law elements and thus many things become binding, about which you may not yet be sure.
