Rezoning for Claremont properties
A proposed office, business or residential development is not allowed by the existing rights.
Two properties in Claremont can need quite different approaches to rezoning. 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 Claremont is
From our register: Claremont lies roughly 8 km north-west of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Lady Selborne (about 2.4 km), Danville (about 2.9 km), Daspoort (about 3.0 km) and Hermanstad (about 4.2 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as . We group it with 36 other areas under Pretoria West & Akasia; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Claremont property
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
- 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 West & Akasia?
- Have neighbouring properties in Claremont or Lady Selborne had similar applications approved or refused?
Checks before appointment
Compare the precise proposed use with the scheme use table and any property-specific annexure. A different activity does not always require rezoning.
What the planner does
A written motivation addresses the proposal, spatial policy, surrounding uses, access, parking and services. New rights may carry conditions that must be implemented before use starts.
