Township establishment for Eloffsdal properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
The suburb name alone tells us little about township establishment. For a Eloffsdal 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 Eloffsdal is
From our register: Eloffsdal is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby are Gezina, Innesdale, Jan Niemand Park and Kilner Park. 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 Eloffsdal property
- Have neighbouring properties in Eloffsdal or Gezina had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Eloffsdal erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed township establishment?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Investigate land status, policy, environmental constraints, access and engineering-service capacity before committing to a layout.
What the planner does
