Township establishment for Laudium properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Two properties in Laudium 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 Laudium is
From our register: Laudium lies roughly 10 km south-west of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Atteridgeville (about 3.0 km), Erasmia (about 3.2 km), West Park (about 4.2 km) and Lotus Gardens (about 4.5 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as la wu di mu, latiyam, لؤڈیم, லாடியம், 拉烏迪姆. We group it with 36 other areas under Pretoria West & Akasia; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Laudium property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria West & Akasia?
- Have neighbouring properties in Laudium or Atteridgeville had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Laudium erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed township establishment?
Checks before appointment
