Agricultural-land subdivision for Silver Lakes properties
A landowner proposes separately owned portions of agricultural land.
Two properties in Silver Lakes can need quite different approaches to agricultural-land subdivision. 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 Silver Lakes is
From our register: Silver Lakes lies roughly 19 km east of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Nellmapius (about 3.2 km), Equestria (about 3.4 km), Wapadrand (about 4.1 km) and Faerie Glen (about 5.8 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as Silverlakes, . We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Silver Lakes property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Silver Lakes or Nellmapius had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Silver Lakes erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed agricultural-land subdivision?
Checks before appointment
Verify the legal land status and applicable national agricultural framework as well as municipal planning requirements. Farm description alone does not resolve the application route.
What the planner does
Coordinate the planning investigation and application sequence with qualified land and agricultural specialists, surveyors and conveyancers as required. Municipal approval may not be the only approval.
