Placement of parking spaces / carport on the property

You don't want or need the parking space anyway... it's just about bureaucracy. Can't you build the carport as originally planned and create a second pro-forma parking space in the bottom-left of the plan (where "Baugenze" is)? It only needs to be gravelled, and depending on the quality of the gravel, something might even grow on it ;-)

Hello,

that was also an idea, but there are two problems: 1. There must be no fence in front of it and 2. there is a significant slope there. Besides, that is the main garden, a nice south/west orientation. I don't want gravel there.. -.-

But yes.. it's bureaucratic red tape...

Is a fence important to you (dog or similar)? Or is that another requirement from the Gaga community?

You only need to "declare" an area as a parking space. How you implement it is another question (especially since you exemplary don’t even have two cars). A relatively flat area in front of the house would already be enough. With grass pavers, it can be reasonably green. If you don’t use it at all, simply put container plants or rampant "edge" planting on it :cool: In practice, no one will care. And even if they do, you can prove the possibility of the second parking space (and if push comes to shove, you can also create it).

I would be pretty bold about it. Not because it is my nature, but because I truly find it crazy to act against sealed surfaces, gravel gardens, etc., and at the same time demand unnecessary reserve parking spaces for the German sacred cow. Especially since you even have two parking spaces in the original plan... the second just must not be "trapped".

Is a fence important to you (dog or similar)? Or is that another requirement from the Gaga community?

You only need to "declare" an area as a parking space. How you execute that is another question (especially since, commendably, you don't even have two cars). A relatively flat area in front of the house would suffice. It can also be done somewhat green with grass pavers. If you don't use it at all, just put potted plants or rampant "border" planting on it :cool: In practice, no one will care. And even if they do, you can prove the possibility of a second parking space (and if push comes to shove, you can also create it).

I would be quite assertive about this. Not because it is my nature, but because I really find it crazy to act against sealed surfaces, gravel gardens, etc., while at the same time demanding unnecessary reserve parking spaces for the German sacred cow. Especially since you even have two parking spaces in the original plan… the second just must not be "trapped."

A fence would be good with 3 children and a street next door. But it is even mandatory to put up a 1m high fence towards the street...

I think we are currently leaning towards the version in the attachment. "Unfortunately," we only have 4m distance to the street because it was planned differently. But that should be enough for a 2.5m wide parking space, right? A splash guard still has to go at the house (about 30 cm?), then a small path along the house (possibly just one with the parking space) and then a fence and hedge towards the street. It will be tight, but should work..? Then there would be enough space in front of the house to ensure a parking space with planting.

4m distance from the house is more than enough. The widely used gravel strip as splash protection does not have to be done (unless you have a wooden house), instead you can put soil there. Then there remains 1-1.5m space to the house which you can plant well.

I would do it as follows:

Light gray is the new parking space (so to speak as a parking bay), dark blue is the fence, light blue is a small gate, and the medium green dots are planting (bushes, shrubs, perennials, hedge, etc). So no fence at the street boundary – neither at the parking space nor at the access path. Instead only in front of the new parking space and behind the house entrance (plus possibly on the right of the driveway carport – you have to know the situation on site for that).

Advantage: Carport & access path remain as originally planned and there are no problems maneuvering at the parking bay. Also, you still have a direct path to the property/terrace, and you can walk around the house as well.

Hello,

thanks for your effort, but unfortunately this option is not for us. We have 3 children and don’t want an open courtyard (sorry if that wasn’t clear above). With the parking space in front of the house as we would like it (fence next to it), you can’t keep the old version, because it slopes down to the carport, so you can’t back out. But parking open to the street is somehow not my thing.. I feel like it’s not my property and someone else might park there afterwards :D Oh.. it’s all very annoying. Or just simply in the lower left corner of the property, as already said, but then you lose unnecessary garden to crappy gravel and can’t fence it off.. -.-

Edit: It’s a wooden post, I think the splash guard has to go there, although there’s actually also the concrete slab. But it’s more about protecting the plaster.
