Township establishment for Sinoville properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Being in Sinoville 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 Sinoville is
Sinoville lies roughly 8 km north of Church Square in central Pretoria. The closest areas in our list are Magalieskruin (about 1.4 km), Wonderboom (about 2.5 km), Wonderboom South (about 3.3 km) and Annlin (about 3.4 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 Sinoville property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Central & Northern Pretoria?
- Have neighbouring properties in Sinoville or Magalieskruin had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Sinoville erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed township establishment?
