Excision of agricultural holdings for Deerness properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Two properties in Deerness can need quite different approaches to excision of agricultural holdings. 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 Deerness is
From our register: Deerness is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby 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
Establish the registered holding, governing restrictions and proposed use. Excision and new land-use rights are different issues.
What the planner does
Determine the competent approval and registration requirements, motivate the planning aspects and coordinate linked rights and registration work.
