Permission applications for Claremont properties
An express scheme provision provides a permission route for the particular proposal.
Two properties in Claremont can need quite different approaches to permission applications. 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 Claremont property
- Have neighbouring properties in Claremont or Lady Selborne had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Claremont erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed permission applications?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Identify the provision authorising permission. Do not interchange permission, consent and rezoning merely because all involve a municipal application.
What the planner does
Confirm the relevant provision, assemble the prescribed supporting information and explain why the proposal meets its tests. Related approvals remain separate.
