Building-line relaxations for Olympus properties

A structure or design conflicts with a planning building line or a relevant control.

The suburb name alone tells us little about building-line relaxations. For a Olympus 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 Olympus is

Olympus is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group, with Persequor, Pretoriuspark, Rietvalleirand and Shere among its nearest neighbours in our register. 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 Olympus property

  • What is the current zoning of the Olympus erf, and does it carry an annexure?
  • Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed building-line relaxations?
  • 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

Confirm which instrument creates the restriction: scheme, title deed, servitude or approval. Check the existing building position and neighbouring impacts.

What the planner does

Prepare the relevant motivation and plans, identify notice requirements and coordinate with the designer. A building-line relaxation is not building-plan approval and cannot erase a servitude.

Information to gather

To prepare building-line relaxations for a Olympus property, these items are normally gathered. You can begin the enquiry before you have them all:

  • Property description or municipal account
  • Current zoning information
  • Title deed and available servitude records
  • Owner consent and power of attorney at appointment

Cost categories

No fixed rand amount or approval date is promised; scope and municipal processing vary.

  • Professional planning fees
  • Municipal application or record charges
  • Advertising and notification, where required
  • Implementation conditions and possible services contributions
  • VAT treatment to be confirmed in the quotation
