Consent use & special consent for Rietondale properties
The proposed activity appears in the relevant consent-use category rather than as a primary right.
Two properties in Rietondale 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.

Questions we'd ask about your Rietondale property
- What is the current zoning of the Rietondale erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed consent use & special consent?
- 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
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.
