Excision of agricultural holdings for Hatfield properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Two properties in Hatfield 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 Hatfield is
From our register: Hatfield lies roughly 6 km east of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Colbyn (about 1.1 km), Brooklyn (about 1.8 km), Arcadia (about 2.2 km) and Queenswood (about 2.4 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. 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 Hatfield property
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed excision of agricultural holdings?
- 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?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
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.
