Extensions of approval validity for Doornpoort properties
Conditions or implementation work cannot be completed within the stated validity period.
The suburb name alone tells us little about extensions of approval validity. For a Doornpoort stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
