Purchase or lease of municipal land for Roseville properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Two properties in Roseville can need quite different approaches to purchase or lease of municipal land. 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 Roseville is
Roseville is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group, with Silverton, Silvertondale, Sinoville and Sunnyside among its nearest neighbours in our register. 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 Roseville property
- Have neighbouring properties in Roseville or Silverton had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Roseville erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed purchase or lease of municipal land?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Confirm ownership, public use, municipal disposal requirements and planning constraints. A planning application cannot compel a sale.
What the planner does
Assist with the planning motivation and implications, coordinate the relevant municipal property process and identify linked closure, subdivision or rights requirements.
