Excision of agricultural holdings for Mountain View properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
The suburb name alone tells us little about excision of agricultural holdings. For a Mountain View stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
Where Mountain View is
From our register: Mountain View is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby are Môregloed, Muckleneuk, Onderstepoort and Parktown Estate. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. 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 Mountain View property
- Have neighbouring properties in Mountain View or Môregloed had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Mountain View erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed excision of agricultural holdings?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
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.
