Excision of agricultural holdings for Brooklyn properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Being in Brooklyn does not by itself decide whether excision of agricultural holdings is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.
Where Brooklyn is
Brooklyn lies roughly 6 km east of Church Square in central Pretoria. The closest areas in our list are Waterkloof (about 1.6 km), Hatfield (about 1.8 km), Lynnwood (about 2.5 km) and Groenkloof (about 2.6 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Brooklyn property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Brooklyn or Waterkloof had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Brooklyn erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed excision of agricultural holdings?
Checks before appointment
Establish the registered holding, governing restrictions and proposed use. Excision and new land-use rights are different issues.
What the planner does
Determine the competent approval and registration requirements, motivate the planning aspects and coordinate linked rights and registration work.
