I consider the 3m, even if extended to 3.5m, to be extremely narrow. This is mainly because one usually drives in forwards and still wants to exit the car as the driver. If the neighbor builds a fence, you then have to keep a distance of 60 (very bad) to 100 cm .. and the car is practically standing on the platform. Paths with bicycles/trash bins around it are simply uncomfortable and impractical.
Unfortunately, we know nothing about the building envelope and the neighboring buildings, otherwise one could possibly shift the house/garage a bit.
