Purchase or lease of municipal land for Silverton properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
The suburb name alone tells us little about purchase or lease of municipal land. For a Silverton 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 Silverton is
From our register: Silverton lies roughly 13 km east of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Waltloo (about 0.3 km), Meyerspark (about 1.9 km), Eersterust (about 2.3 km) and Jan Niemand Park (about 3.6 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. 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 Silverton property
- What is the current zoning of the Silverton 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?
- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
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.
