Building-line relaxations for Bergtuin properties
A structure or design conflicts with a planning building line or a relevant control.
Two properties in Bergtuin can need quite different approaches to building-line relaxations. What counts is the individual erf: its zoning and any annexure, the title deed conditions, registered servitudes, earlier approvals and the City of Tshwane policy that applies to its location.
Where Bergtuin is
From our register: Bergtuin is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby are Capital Park, Colbyn, Deerness and Doornpoort. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 44 other areas under Central & Northern Pretoria; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Bergtuin property
- Have neighbouring properties in Bergtuin or Capital Park had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Bergtuin erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed building-line relaxations?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Confirm which instrument creates the restriction: scheme, title deed, servitude or approval. Check the existing building position and neighbouring impacts.
What the planner does
Prepare the relevant motivation and plans, identify notice requirements and coordinate with the designer. A building-line relaxation is not building-plan approval and cannot erase a servitude.
