Township establishment for Jan Niemand Park properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Two properties in Jan Niemand Park can need quite different approaches to township establishment. 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 Jan Niemand Park is
Jan Niemand Park lies roughly 10 km north-east of Church Square in central Pretoria, with East Lynne (about 0.6 km), Waverley (about 2.5 km), Eersterust (about 3.2 km) and Waltloo (about 3.5 km) among its nearest neighbours in our register. Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as .
