Combined subdivision & consolidation for Hillcrest properties
An owner proposes a boundary adjustment or a different configuration of adjacent land.
Being in Hillcrest does not by itself decide whether combined subdivision & consolidation 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.
Where Hillcrest is
Hillcrest is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group, with La Montagne, Lydiana, Lynnwood and Lynnwood Glen 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 Hillcrest property
- Have neighbouring properties in Hillcrest or La Montagne had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Hillcrest erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed combined subdivision & consolidation?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Confirm ownership, rights, bonds and servitudes for every property and assess the municipal process before survey work starts.
What the planner does
