Renewable-energy land-use applications for The Orchards properties
A landowner or developer proposes solar, wind, storage or associated infrastructure.
Being in The Orchards does not by itself decide whether renewable-energy land-use applications 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.

- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed renewable-energy land-use applications?
- 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 Pretoria West & Akasia?
