Subdivision for The Orchards properties
An owner wants to sell a portion, restructure ownership or create separate development sites.
Being in The Orchards does not by itself decide whether subdivision 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
- 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 subdivision?
- 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?
Checks before appointment
Test access, services, existing buildings, title restrictions and the applicable density and subdivision controls. There is no single minimum stand size for all Pretoria suburbs.
What the planner does
Develop a workable land-division proposal with a registered land surveyor, motivate the planning application and track conditions. Approval alone does not create a registered new erf.
