Are they garages or just parking spaces at the bottom of plot 50's garden? Either way it should get better morning sun (from the East) than plot 51 if I'm reading it right, unless the tree is (or will get) tall with a dense canopy. I don't suppose they've said what type of trees will be planted? In the evening the house itself will cast shade but you might get some sun at the bottom, maybe more so than plot 51 depending on the exact angles at different times of year, because the garden is wider. The sun sets further North in the summer so you might get summer evening sunlight falling between houses 50 and 49, but without compass directions on the plan it's hard to be sure.

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your help. They are parking spaces behind plot 50s garden. The tree is a 'Pyrus Calleryana Chanticleer' - it says on the plan it is estimated to grow between 3 and 3.5m. It's such a hard choice without actually seeing the gardens.
Just a thought, do you have specific requirements for the use of your garden? Will you be using side and front garden areas? Is this the UK? Some plants for instance roses can often do better with sun from the east than from the west ( in a very general way).
Sorry to witness the demise of the forum. 😥😥😥😡😡😡I am Spartacus
and it’s nice that it’s not overlooked from the back.
I think it might be more overlooked by houses 60 and 61 - house 51's garden is at an angle from the front of those houses so won't really be overlooked unless they have big windows in the gable ends. Most new builds don't but they might
