Renewable-energy land-use applications for Lotus Gardens properties
A landowner or developer proposes solar, wind, storage or associated infrastructure.
Two properties in Lotus Gardens can need quite different approaches to renewable-energy land-use applications. 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.
