Excision of agricultural holdings for Sunnyside properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.
Being in Sunnyside does not by itself decide whether excision of agricultural holdings 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 Sunnyside is
From our register: Sunnyside lies roughly 3 km south-east of Church Square in central Pretoria; nearby are Arcadia (about 1.6 km), Groenkloof (about 2.2 km), Prinshof (about 2.5 km) and Pretoria Central (about 2.7 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 Sunnyside property
- 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?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Central & Northern Pretoria?
- Have neighbouring properties in Sunnyside or Arcadia had similar applications approved or refused?
Checks before appointment
Establish the registered holding, governing restrictions and proposed use. Excision and new land-use rights are different issues.
What the planner does
