Development feasibility & due diligence for Deerness properties
A purchaser or owner is considering development, investment or a change of use.
The suburb name alone tells us little about development feasibility & due diligence. For a Deerness stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
Where Deerness is
Deerness is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group. The closest areas in our list are Doornpoort, East Lynne, Eloffsdal and Gezina. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 44 other areas under Central & Northern Pretoria; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Deerness 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 Central & Northern Pretoria?
- Have neighbouring properties in Deerness or Doornpoort had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Deerness erf, and does it carry an annexure?
Checks before appointment
Separate existing rights from hoped-for rights. Confirm land status, title, policy, access, services, constraints and the proposed development scale.
What the planner does
Produce an agreed-scope planning investigation with assumptions, constraints and possible routes. Surveying, geotechnical, engineering, environmental and financial feasibility work require their own specialists.
