Building-line relaxations for Bon Accord properties
A structure or design conflicts with a planning building line or a relevant control.
The suburb name alone tells us little about building-line relaxations. For a Bon Accord stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
Where Bon Accord is
Bon Accord lies roughly 14 km north of Church Square in central Pretoria, with Onderstepoort (about 3.6 km), Annlin (about 5.6 km), Sinoville (about 6.5 km) and Doornpoort (about 6.6 km) among its nearest neighbours in our register. Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as . We group it with 12 other areas under Wider Pretoria service areas; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Bon Accord property
- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Wider Pretoria service areas?
- Have neighbouring properties in Bon Accord or Onderstepoort had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Bon Accord erf, and does it carry an annexure?
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.
