Building-line relaxations for Hazelwood properties
A structure or design conflicts with a planning building line or a relevant control.
Two properties in Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood is
Hazelwood is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group, with Hillcrest, La Montagne, Lydiana and Lynnwood among its nearest neighbours in our register. 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 Hazelwood property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Hazelwood or Hillcrest had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Hazelwood erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed building-line relaxations?
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.
Information to gather
You don't need everything up front — "Hazelwood" and a sentence about the plan is enough to start. A full building-line relaxations submission typically needs:
- Property description or municipal account
- Current zoning information
- Title deed and available servitude records
- Owner consent and power of attorney at appointment
Cost categories
We quote building-line relaxations after reviewing the property. Typical cost categories are listed below; no fixed amount or decision date is implied.
- Professional planning fees
- Municipal application or record charges
- Advertising and notification, where required
- Implementation conditions and possible services contributions
- VAT treatment to be confirmed in the quotation
