Excision of agricultural holdings for Menlo Park properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Two properties in Menlo Park can need quite different approaches to excision of agricultural holdings. 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 Menlo Park is
From our register: Menlo Park lies roughly 12 km east of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Eastwood (about 1.5 km), Faerie Glen (about 1.8 km), Garsfontein (about 2.6 km) and Lynnwood Manor (about 2.8 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Menlo Park property
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Menlo Park or Eastwood had similar applications approved or refused?
Checks before appointment
Establish the registered holding, governing restrictions and proposed use. Excision and new land-use rights are different issues.
What the planner does
Determine the competent approval and registration requirements, motivate the planning aspects and coordinate linked rights and registration work.
