Site development plans for Menlyn properties
An approval or scheme provision requires an SDP before construction or operation.
Two properties in Menlyn can need quite different approaches to site development plans. 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.

Questions we'd ask about your Menlyn property
- What is the current zoning of the Menlyn erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed site development plans?
- 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?
Checks before appointment
Read the rights and conditions, establish the design brief and check parking, circulation, access, landscaping and engineering information.
What the planner does
Coordinate the planning layout with architects and engineers, track submission comments and check consistency with the approved rights. Architectural and engineering design are distinct appointments.
