How does it continue? Construction beyond the rear building line

What speaks against at least pushing the garage completely into the building area?

However, I would also place the garage on the other side of the house.

If I move the garage completely into the building line, then I won't have a window in the utility room. I know the neighbor with plot No. 26! I can't imagine there will be any problems, but we will see what comes up this week.

Of course, I can place the garage for the neighbor down at the boundary, but that would cause me to lose light for the future living/dining room, which runs over the rear lower part of the house.

I think it would be helpful if you also upload the floor plan. Otherwise, it's difficult to give advice here.

Currently, I just want to find out what is maximally possible, with and without the neighbors' consent. Basically, everything is still open!

Somehow, I can't come to terms with that way of thinking. Why do you always have to get the maximum out of something? A healthy compromise is always a give and take. Going for the maximum usually comes at the expense of others.

the deviation from the development plan is not particularly large in your case, yet you apparently need to go the route of obtaining neighbor approval. The federal states handle this differently, and sometimes the practice depends on the respective building authority.

In NRW you could achieve the deviation through a so-called waiver building encumbrance - usually without neighbor approval. This basically works in such a way that you secure the additionally required area to the west of the building window by a waiver of an equally large area within the building window, thus only causing an individual shift of your building window without having to set up/change the entire development plan anew. The size of your usable building window then remains the same, so you consequently gain no additional building area.

Since in BW there is generally a synonymous handling of building encumbrance entries (some federal states don’t even have the construct "building encumbrance"), in my opinion this route without neighbor approval would also be possible in BW.

Clarify details with your architect/surveyor and building authority; you may then also not be able to submit a building application via the simplified procedure.

But as said, these are only a few square meters by which the building window would need to be adjusted and, due to the plot layout, this can be justified in my view.

Here is the ground floor, which roughly corresponds to our wishes. The lower left corner is not finished yet, regarding the windows and more light.

It's just about finding out if our current idea might possibly be feasible. Getting the maximum out was probably the wrong choice of words here

: Thank you! Finally an answer I can work with.
