Renewable-energy land-use applications for Waterkloof properties

A landowner or developer proposes solar, wind, storage or associated infrastructure.

Being in Waterkloof 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.

Where Waterkloof is

Waterkloof lies roughly 7 km south-east of Church Square in central Pretoria. The closest areas in our list are Brooklyn (about 1.6 km), Newlands (about 2.3 km), Waterkloof Glen (about 2.4 km) and Groenkloof (about 2.5 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.

Questions we'd ask about your Waterkloof property

  • Have neighbouring properties in Waterkloof or Brooklyn had similar applications approved or refused?
  • What is the current zoning of the Waterkloof erf, and does it carry an annexure?
  • 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?

Checks before appointment
