Consent use & special consent for The Orchards properties
The proposed activity appears in the relevant consent-use category rather than as a primary right.
Being in The Orchards does not by itself decide whether consent use & special consent 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.

Questions we'd ask about your The Orchards property
- Have neighbouring properties in The Orchards or Theresapark had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the The Orchards erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed consent use & special consent?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Obtain the current zoning and confirm the exact defined use, scale and conditions. Guesthouses, educational uses and home activities are not automatically consent uses on every erf.
What the planner does
Prepare the use description and supporting motivation, identify required notice procedures and respond to municipal comments. Consent is normally tied to conditions; it is not a blanket change of zoning.
