Building-line relaxations for Riviera 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 Riviera 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 Riviera is
From our register: Riviera is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby are Roseville, Silverton, Silvertondale and Sinoville. 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 Riviera 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 Riviera or Roseville had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Riviera erf, and does it carry an annexure?
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.

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