Re: General question about land orientation 2Jul 25, 2011 12:48 pm Hi, Both could be good, but block B would be in greater danger of having the sun blocked by the northern neighbour. If they built 2 storey, you would get NO sun. With Block A, the rear yard is to the north. This is good. you will have bigger separation between your house and the rear neighbour. Place all of your living spaces to the rear of block A and you will get a nice warm living area. Michael m.h.
