Township establishment for Waterkloof Glen properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
The suburb name alone tells us little about township establishment. For a Waterkloof Glen stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
Where Waterkloof Glen is
Waterkloof Glen lies roughly 9 km south-east of Church Square in central Pretoria. The closest areas in our list are Newlands (about 0.9 km), Menlyn (about 1.1 km), Lynnwood Glen (about 1.8 km) and Lynnwood Manor (about 2.4 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
