Excision of agricultural holdings for Parktown Estate properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Two properties in Parktown Estate can need quite different approaches to excision of agricultural holdings. 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 Parktown Estate is
From our register: Parktown Estate is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby are Pretoria Central, Pretoria North, Prinshof and Queenswood. 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 Parktown Estate property
- Have neighbouring properties in Parktown Estate or Pretoria Central had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Parktown Estate 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.
