Max. large double garage. Are there regulations?

Hello everyone, Since google can't really help me, maybe here. We want to build a double garage on the neighboring property in Bavaria. It should be as big as possible because two tractors need to fit inside. Are there any regulations? The property has about 600 sqm, nothing else is supposed to be on it. The building obligation was lifted when purchasing. Thank you very much Lalala21

Art. 7 Deviations from the clearance areas

(1) If outer walls are permitted or required by the provisions of an urban development statute or a statute pursuant to Art. 91, in front of which clearance areas of greater or lesser depth than those specified in Art. 6 must lie, Art. 6 paragraphs 4 and 5 shall not apply, unless the statute stipulates the application of these provisions.
Sufficient lighting and ventilation must be ensured.
The areas for necessary ancillary facilities, in particular for playgrounds, garages, and parking spaces, must not be restricted. Art. 91 paragraph 1 no. 5 remains unaffected.

(2) Buildings with an eaves height of no more than 5 m for local supply of electricity, heat, gas, and water, greenhouses for commercial horticulture, and silage containers for agriculture are permitted within clearance areas and without their own clearance areas.
This does not apply to silage containers regarding the clearance areas adjacent to neighboring properties.

(3) If buildings or parts of buildings face each other on one property, of which at least one has no more than one full storey and is not used for residential purposes, it may be permitted
that the clearance areas required according to Art. 6 paragraphs 4 and 5 may be reduced in depth to half the wall height of this building, provided that fire protection, lighting, and ventilation are not impaired thereby.

(4) Garages including their ancillary rooms, covered underground garage driveways, and elevators to underground garages with a total usable area of up to 50 m² as well as outbuildings without fireplaces with a usable area of up to 20 m² do not need to observe clearance areas to the property boundary,
if a wall height of 3 m on average is not exceeded at the boundary; the height of roofs with a pitch of up to 75 degrees and gable surfaces in the roof area with a pitch of up to 75 degrees shall not be considered.
Overall, this boundary development on the property may not exceed a total usable area of 50 m², as well as a total length of external walls of 8 m per property boundary; usable areas in attic and basement rooms are not included.
The structural connection of this boundary development with a main building or another outbuilding is permitted, provided that these buildings individually comply with the clearance areas applicable to them.

(5) The clearance areas according to Art. 6 paragraphs 4 and 5 or the clearance areas based on local building regulations according to Art. 91 may extend fully or partially onto the neighboring property if the neighbor gives written consent to the building authority or if they cannot be built over for legal or factual reasons;
the neighbor's consent shall also apply for and against his legal successor.

They must be kept free from development in addition to the clearance areas prescribed for the development of the neighboring property. Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentences 3 and 4 remain unaffected.

There are a few changes regarding the setback areas in Bavaria. It is now also allowed to build 9m on the boundary, and the limitation of 50m2 no longer applies. However, up to 50m2 is procedure-free...

#link entfernt; please observe the forum rules. Thank you!

Hello First of all, thank you for the answers. When I read the legal texts, I remember again why I did not want to work at the office... Does that mean you are allowed to build, for example, 9*10m with a building permit but only 3m high? Many greetings Lalala

This means that you may build the garage up to a maximum depth of 9m on the property line and up to a width of 5.55m (under 50m2) you don't even need to ask anyone or register anything. With permission, you could also build up to 3m in front of the other border... An exception would be if you place the garage in the corner of the property and build on 2 borders, then with permission a maximum width of 6m would also be possible, because a total of only 15m is allowed on all borders. With a registered building encumbrance, you could also increase the construction on your property boundary (wasn't that the neighboring property?). What is stated above is possible without the neighbor's consent. In Bavaria, you have many more options regarding height than elsewhere. Although the wall may only be 3m high like almost everywhere, the gable surfaces above are not counted up to 45 degrees. That means you can still build a huge pitched roof up to 45 degrees and double the total height (only in the middle). Theoretically, a cross gable would also be conceivable to increase the clearance height at the front and to install a lift platform for the tractors in the middle. The 3m is measured from the top edge of the ground, so you could also set the garage deeper to increase the measurement, you just have to divert the water then.

Thank you for the great answer. Now I've understood it. That is then also completely sufficient.
