Combined rezoning & subdivision for Brooklyn properties
The proposed portions need rights that the parent property does not currently carry.
Two properties in Brooklyn can need quite different approaches to combined rezoning & subdivision. 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 Brooklyn is
Brooklyn lies roughly 6 km east of Church Square in central Pretoria, with Waterkloof (about 1.6 km), Hatfield (about 1.8 km), Lynnwood (about 2.5 km) and Groenkloof (about 2.6 km) among its nearest neighbours in our register. 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
- 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 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?
Checks before appointment
Check whether Tshwane accepts the particular combined submission and how the two components depend on each other. Resolve layout and intensity together.
What the planner does
Develop a coordinated motivation and layout, distinguish each decision and condition, and plan surveying and implementation in the correct sequence.
