Township establishment for Doornpoort properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Two properties in Doornpoort can need quite different approaches to township establishment. 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.
