Rezoning involves changing the zoning rights of a property to allow a different land use, such as residential, business, or mixed use. We manage the full rezoning application process, including motivation reports, municipal submissions, and liaison with the relevant authorities.
Consent Uses
A consent use application allows a property to be used for a specific purpose that is not automatically permitted under the current zoning. We prepare and submit consent use applications and provide professional guidance to ensure alignment with municipal policies and planning frameworks.
Subdivisions & Consolidations
Subdivision allows a single property to be divided into two or more separate erven. Consolidation is the process of combining two or more adjacent properties into a single erf or land unit. We handle the application process and coordinate with surveyors and authorities to ensure compliance with municipal and legal requirements.
Township Establishments
Township establishment is the formal process of creating a new township for development purposes. We provide professional planning services throughout the process, from initial feasibility and application preparation to approvals and compliance with statutory requirements.
Relaxations & Departures
Relaxations and departures are applications submitted when a proposed development does not strictly comply with the rules in a municipality’s Land Use Scheme. These regulations typically govern aspects such as maximum height, site coverage, or building lines. The intent of the application is to formally request a relaxation of these standards, for example, to allow a building to exceed the height limit or to be positioned closer to a boundary than the standard building line.
Removal of Restrictive Title Deed Conditions
Removal of Restrictive Title Deed Conditions is a process used to eliminate or amend specific limitations contained within a property’s title deed that prevent a proposed development. These conditions often restrict land use by prohibiting activities such as subdividing the property, building a second dwelling, or operating a business.
Closure of Public Places
Closure of public places involves the legal closure of roads or public parks to allow for development. We manage the application process, including notices, approvals, and coordination with the relevant authorities.
Contravention Compliance
Contravention compliance addresses illegal land uses or developments that do not comply with approved zoning or conditions. We assist in rectifying contraventions through regularisation applications, compliance submissions, and liaison with enforcement departments.
Mapping
Mapping involves the preparation and verification of land use, zoning, and cadastral maps required for planning applications, including farm and property boundary mapping. We provide accurate maps showing boundaries, land extents, servitudes, and zoning information to support submissions and ensure compliance with municipal and statutory requirements.
Land Use Objections
Land use objections involve the preparation and submission of formal objections to proposed developments that may impact surrounding properties. We assess applications, compile motivated objections, and represent clients in engagements with the relevant authorities.
Project Management
Our Project Management service covers the entire property development lifecycle from initial concept and feasibility to final site handover. We act as the lead consultant by managing the full spectrum of technical specialists including engineers, land surveyors, and environmental experts while navigating all municipal approvals. By overseeing every stage of the development, we ensure the project is executed efficiently, remains fully compliant, and successfully transforms from a plan into a completed asset.
