Township establishment for Lotus Gardens properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
The suburb name alone tells us little about township establishment. For a Lotus Gardens stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
