Township establishment for Silver Woods properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Being in Silver Woods does not by itself decide whether township establishment is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.
Where Silver Woods is
Silver Woods is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group, with Six Fountains, The Willows, Tijger Vallei and Wapadrand among its nearest neighbours in our register.

Questions we'd ask about your Silver Woods 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 Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Silver Woods or Six Fountains had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Silver Woods erf, and does it carry an annexure?
