Resolution details

RESOLVED that:

a. The subdivision of the unregistered Erf 177528 Cape Town (portion of Remainder Erf 170145 Cape Town), as per plan of subdivision LUM/00/177528, IS APPROVED in terms of Section 98(b) of the Municipal Planning By-law, 2015, subject to the conditions contained in Annexure A.




REASONS FOR DECISION:

1. The development rules for the new erven will be controlled in terms of the existing Architectural Design Guidelines for the estate, as well as the existing land use conditions relating to floor area, coverage and building height.
2. The area contains a wide range of erf sizes, and the proposed erf sizes will not be out of keeping with others in the estate.
3. There will be no negative impact on the surrounding built environment.
4. The proposal is consistent with the Southern District Plan, the Densification Policy and the Municipal Spatial Development Framework which promote contextually appropriate densification. The application is also aligned with the Natural Interface Study Veldfire Related Planning Guidelines and the Peninsula Urban Edge Study.
5. The level of densification is very low (ie only 1 additional land unit will be created).
6. The proposal will have no heritage impact.
7. The transport impact will be negligible.
8. There is adequate infrastructure to accommodate the additional land units.
9. Regarding the consolidation it must be noted that the scale and massing of the proposed buildings will be in keeping with the existing buildings.
10. The new buildings will be separated from the existing development by an existing road and other erven that are in common ownership with the developer. (ie. The subject property is not adjacent to the existing development in the Stonehurst Mountain Estate.)
