Extensions of approval validity for Hercules properties
Conditions or implementation work cannot be completed within the stated validity period.
Being in Hercules 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.

- 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 West & Akasia?
- Have neighbouring properties in Hercules or Hermanstad had similar applications approved or refused?
