Extensions of approval validity for Heatherdale properties
Conditions or implementation work cannot be completed within the stated validity period.
Being in Heatherdale does not by itself decide whether extensions of approval validity is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.

Checks before appointment
Read the actual decision and expiry provision immediately. Identify what must be done, the competent authority and the application deadline.
What the planner does
