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

6.1.1 The principle of subdivision can be viewed as compatible in the subject area and will result in the optimal utilization of the property. The proposal within an established urban residential development is seen to be compatible with the surrounding area. The subdivision will not have a significant negative impact on the area




6.1.3 The proposed departure for the garage is in line with the characteristics of a residential dwelling. Bree Street is characterised by large open garden spaces to the front of the properties with little to no structures encroaching the street building line. It is however not foreseen that the proposed garage will deviate from this character as the street is well vegetated along the street frontages creating a natural vegetation screen that will minimize any possible visible impacts of the garage in the proposed position.

Amend Annexure A:
1.1. Relaxation of condition C3(a) in Title Deed No. 15422/2017 for Erf 5878, Somerset West to allow the property to be subdivided.

1.2. Relaxation of Condition C3(b) in Title Deed No. 15422/2017 for Erf 5878, Somerset West to allow for the relaxation of the restriction of only one dwelling.

1.3. Relaxation of Condition C3(c) in Title Deed No. 15422/2017 for Erf 5878, Somerset West pertaining to a maximum coverage of 50%

1.4. Relaxation of Condition C3(c) in Title Deed No. 15422/2017 for Erf 5878, Somerset West pertaining to a street building line of 4.72m common building lines of 1.57m and rear building line of 3.15m
