In Saxony, a garage (should also apply to carports) is exempt from approval if the floor area is less than (or equal to) 50 m² and the average height is < 3m. Therefore, we do not have a building permit application for it.
At best, an informal written confirmation from all parties involved with a sketch would be sufficient.
Alternatively, the garden house would then simply have to maintain a 3m distance from the boundary and I can position it at will, right?
