Second dwellings & home-use guidance for Lady Selborne properties
An owner wants a second dwelling, home office, guest accommodation or educational activity.
Two properties in Lady Selborne can need quite different approaches to second dwellings & home-use guidance. 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.

Checks before appointment
Check the actual scheme definition, title, prior approvals, parking, coverage, access and estate rules. Do not assume every second dwelling requires consent or rezoning.
What the planner does
Identify the lawful starting point and any linked application; coordinate with the building designer once rights are confirmed. Building-plan approval and services remain separate.
