…with large trees like linden or oak. Or do you have to plant these?

I know other development plans that can be implemented well quite well.

Unfortunately, you then have to escalate it because you cannot complain to the city about itself.

Of course you can, often even very successfully. "The city" is not just an individual. And if the complaint to the person responsible for professional supervision does not help, then with a certain probability it will be the local council member.

I already wrote that... the municipality does not plant a single tree here, by the way. Of course, you can be reasonable and only plant shrubs from list 2. But that does not change the fact that list 1 is completely detached from the reality of today’s properties.

Of course you can, often even very successfully. "The city" is not just one individual. And if complaining to the supervisory official doesn’t help, then most likely complaining to the local council member will.

But the supervisory official (head of the garden office) will also have been the ordering person. I wouldn’t waste time complaining to the department head or mayor, but would go straight to the lower nature conservation authority (district). The council member (even if from the opposition faction) is not a disciplinary superior. You might as well set the tabloid press on it.

You don't need to overcomplicate this now. However, you can also keep the trees small by targeted pruning. Or choose slender-growing varieties. Shade providers are becoming increasingly important as well. I find hardly anything as dreadful as the south-facing gardens or playgrounds in new housing developments where you get roasted alive.

Putting that aside, my intention was rather to say that probably everyone, consciously or unconsciously, has not complied with the development plan for every little detail. So one should think very carefully about whether they want to piss off the neighbor or if a bigger backlash might come back.

For example, I know that we are one of the few who submitted a building application for the subsequently added terrace roofs with a depth >3m. We have also probably been one of the few to pave our driveway with permeable paving, even though it was mandatory in the development plan. We then had a significantly thicker layer of gravel installed because our subsoil is not easily permeable. I don't care about that with the neighbors as long as no one gives me a hard time.
