Purchase or lease of municipal land for Zwavelpoort properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Being in Zwavelpoort does not by itself decide whether purchase or lease of municipal land 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 Zwavelpoort is
From our register: Zwavelpoort is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group; nearby are Alphen Park, Ashlea Gardens, Boardwalk and Boardwalk Meander. 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 Zwavelpoort property
- Have neighbouring properties in Zwavelpoort or Alphen Park had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Zwavelpoort erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed purchase or lease of municipal land?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Confirm ownership, public use, municipal disposal requirements and planning constraints. A planning application cannot compel a sale.
What the planner does
Assist with the planning motivation and implications, coordinate the relevant municipal property process and identify linked closure, subdivision or rights requirements.
