Township establishment for West Park properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Two properties in West Park 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 West Park is
West Park lies roughly 6 km west of Church Square in central Pretoria. The closest areas in our list are Danville (about 1.6 km), Pretoria West (about 2.8 km), Laudium (about 4.2 km) and Claremont (about 4.4 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as West Fort, Wespark. 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 West Park property
- Have neighbouring properties in West Park or Danville had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the West Park erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed township establishment?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
