When designing, Home Check applies the required front setback and gives priority to a front yard; the assistant can explain which rule applies.

Setback建筑退界
Explanation
The required setback depends on the street's width, the building's height and the area's zoning. Many old streets allow building right up to the boundary, while new urban areas usually require a setback.
In feng shui, the front setback is the home's inner bright hall.
How Home Check uses it
Questions
Can a balcony project beyond the setback?
Some projections such as balconies and canopies may cross the building line within limits set by height and street width; check the rules where you build.
Does the setback matter for feng shui?
Yes. The front yard it creates is the inner bright hall, where energy gathers before the main door.
