Planning appeals for Montana properties
An applicant or eligible affected party wishes to challenge a decision.
Being in Montana does not by itself decide whether planning appeals is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.

We group it with 44 other areas under Central & Northern Pretoria; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Montana property
- Have neighbouring properties in Montana or Doornpoort had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Montana erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed planning appeals?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Obtain the full decision, reasons, notice and applicable appeal provisions immediately. Time limits and standing must be confirmed from the governing instrument.
What the planner does
Assess planning grounds and evidence, coordinate with legal advisers where necessary and prepare the planning submission. Do not assume every decision is appealable by every person.
