Excision of agricultural holdings for Rietondale properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Two properties in Rietondale 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 Rietondale is
Rietondale lies roughly 4 km north-east of Church Square in central Pretoria, with Villieria (about 1.7 km), Arcadia (about 1.7 km), Innesdale (about 1.8 km) and Gezina (about 2.2 km) among its nearest neighbours in our register. Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as . 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 Rietondale 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 Central & Northern Pretoria?
- Have neighbouring properties in Rietondale or Villieria had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Rietondale erf, and does it carry an annexure?
Checks before appointment
