Site development plans for Silver Lakes properties
An approval or scheme provision requires an SDP before construction or operation.
Two properties in Silver Lakes can need quite different approaches to site development plans. 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.
