Consent use & special consent for Bon Accord properties
The proposed activity appears in the relevant consent-use category rather than as a primary right.
Two properties in Bon Accord can need quite different approaches to consent use & special consent. 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.

Questions we'd ask about your Bon Accord property
- 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?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed consent use & special consent?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Obtain the current zoning and confirm the exact defined use, scale and conditions. Guesthouses, educational uses and home activities are not automatically consent uses on every erf.
What the planner does
Prepare the use description and supporting motivation, identify required notice procedures and respond to municipal comments. Consent is normally tied to conditions; it is not a blanket change of zoning.
