The subdivision of the consolidation of unregistered Erven 177231 and 177232 Cape Town (portions of Remainder Erf 170145 Cape Town), as per plan of subdivision LUM/00/177231B, IS APPROVED in terms of Section 98(b) of the Municipal Planning By-law, 2015, subject to the conditions contained in Annexure A.

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.

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.
