Site development plans for The Orchards properties
An approval or scheme provision requires an SDP before construction or operation.
Two properties in The Orchards can need quite different approaches to site development plans. What counts is the individual erf: its zoning and any annexure, the title deed conditions, registered servitudes, earlier approvals and the City of Tshwane policy that applies to its location.
Where The Orchards is
The Orchards is listed in our Pretoria West & Akasia group, with Theresapark, West Park, Winternest and Akasia among its nearest neighbours in our register. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 36 other areas under Pretoria West & Akasia; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your The Orchards property
- 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?
- 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?
Checks before appointment
Read the rights and conditions, establish the design brief and check parking, circulation, access, landscaping and engineering information.
What the planner does
Coordinate the planning layout with architects and engineers, track submission comments and check consistency with the approved rights. Architectural and engineering design are distinct appointments.
