Combined rezoning & subdivision for Colbyn properties
The proposed portions need rights that the parent property does not currently carry.
Being in Colbyn does not by itself decide whether combined rezoning & subdivision 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.
