Building-line relaxations for Erasmusrand properties
A structure or design conflicts with a planning building line or a relevant control.
Two properties in Erasmusrand can need quite different approaches to building-line relaxations. 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 Erasmusrand is
From our register: Erasmusrand is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group; nearby are Faerie Glen, Garsfontein, Groenkloof and Hatfield. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Erasmusrand property
- What is the current zoning of the Erasmusrand erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed building-line relaxations?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
Checks before appointment
Confirm which instrument creates the restriction: scheme, title deed, servitude or approval. Check the existing building position and neighbouring impacts.
What the planner does
Prepare the relevant motivation and plans, identify notice requirements and coordinate with the designer. A building-line relaxation is not building-plan approval and cannot erase a servitude.
