Rezoning for Silver Lakes properties
A proposed office, business or residential development is not allowed by the existing rights.
The suburb name alone tells us little about rezoning. For a Silver Lakes 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 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
- 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 rezoning?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Compare the precise proposed use with the scheme use table and any property-specific annexure. A different activity does not always require rezoning.
What the planner does
A written motivation addresses the proposal, spatial policy, surrounding uses, access, parking and services. New rights may carry conditions that must be implemented before use starts.
