Scheme & spatial-framework matters for Hillcrest properties
A policy proposal, framework review or scheme amendment affects a property or project.
Being in Hillcrest does not by itself decide whether scheme & spatial-framework matters 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.

- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
