Township establishment for Waterkloof Ridge properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Two properties in Waterkloof Ridge can need quite different approaches to township establishment. 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 Waterkloof Ridge is
From our register: Waterkloof Ridge is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group; nearby are Willow Acres, Willow Park Manor, Wingate Park and Zwavelpoort. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Waterkloof Ridge 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 East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in Waterkloof Ridge or Willow Acres had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Waterkloof Ridge erf, and does it carry an annexure?
