Rezoning for Murrayfield properties
A proposed office, business or residential development is not allowed by the existing rights.
Two properties in Murrayfield can need quite different approaches to rezoning. 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 Murrayfield is
From our register: Murrayfield is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group; nearby are Newlands, Olympus, Persequor and Pretoriuspark. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. 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 Murrayfield property
- 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 Murrayfield or Newlands had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Murrayfield erf, and does it carry an annexure?
Checks before appointment
Compare the precise proposed use with the scheme use table and any property-specific annexure. A different activity does not always require rezoning.
What the planner does
A written motivation addresses the proposal, spatial policy, surrounding uses, access, parking and services. New rights may carry conditions that must be implemented before use starts.
Information to gather
You don't need everything up front — "Murrayfield" and a sentence about the plan is enough to start. A full rezoning submission typically needs:
- Property description or municipal account
- Current zoning information
- Title deed and available servitude records
- Owner consent and power of attorney at appointment
- Proposed use, intensity, parking and concept layout
Cost categories
We quote rezoning after reviewing the property. Typical cost categories are listed below; no fixed amount or decision date is implied.
- Professional planning fees
- Municipal application or record charges
- Advertising and notification, where required
- Traffic, engineering, environmental or other specialists
- Implementation conditions and possible services contributions
- VAT treatment to be confirmed in the quotation
