Dear All,
When we were designing, our designer told us that usually we could stretch in 2ft jumps up to the side boundary, where we had to leave at least 5ft to the boundary and usually 2ft to 4ft forward, depending upon the model.
She didn't mention any restriction for stretching at the back, but did say we had to leave 10ft at the back to the boundary if we built a birdcage, although some of the ones we have seen around seem to be closer than 10ft to the boundary.
We ended up with a 2ft stretch out on one side on the bedrooms, 9ft 6in at the front side for a Golf Cart garage and back by 4ft on the lania
Hope that helps a little.
