Consent use & special consent for Olympus properties
The proposed activity appears in the relevant consent-use category rather than as a primary right.
Two properties in Olympus can need quite different approaches to consent use & special consent. 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 Olympus is
From our register: Olympus is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group; nearby are Persequor, Pretoriuspark, Rietvalleirand and Shere. 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
- 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?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Olympus or Persequor had similar applications approved or refused?
Checks before appointment
Obtain the current zoning and confirm the exact defined use, scale and conditions. Guesthouses, educational uses and home activities are not automatically consent uses on every erf.
What the planner does
Prepare the use description and supporting motivation, identify required notice procedures and respond to municipal comments. Consent is normally tied to conditions; it is not a blanket change of zoning.
Information to gather
An initial enquiry can start with the suburb (Olympus) and a short description of your proposal. For a submission, the following is usually confirmed:
- 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
