An administrative penalty of R 25 000.00 BE DETERMINED in terms of Section 129 of the City of Cape Town Municipal Planning By-Law, 2015 in respect of Erf 173147, 23 Leeuwen Street, Cape Town and such penalty be approved in terms of Section 98(b) of the said By-Law

REASONS FOR DECISION
The MPT APPROVED the application for the reasons set out in the Planner’s Report and agreed to amend the following reasons:

6.2 The extent of the contravention is not significantly large, however, the gravity is serious since no evidence exists to suggest that the unauthorised building work has been evaluated against fire and safety requirements.
6.3 Despite numerous requests, the applicant did not co-operate despite being notified of the unauthorised building work. Also, despite numerous requests, the applicant did not submit the administrative penalty application.

Add new reasons as follows:
6.4 The unauthorized building work is within a heritage protected overlay zone
6.5 The gravity of the contravention warrants a reduction in the recommended penalty amount
