UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that:
a. An administrative penalty of R0 BE DETERMINED in terms of Section 129 of the City of Cape Town Municipal Planning By-Law, 2015 in respect of Erf 911 Pinelands, 79 Forest Drive Service Road in respect of the outbuildings referred to in paragraph 5.1.1 of the Planners report.

REASONS FOR DECISION
The MPT APPROVED the application for the reasons set out in the Planner’s Report and agreed to amend 5.2.5 as follows:
Since the owner wilfully disregarded the notices, an interdict was sought to prevent occupation and further building work on the site. In spite of this, building work persisted. As a result, the City launched an urgent (contempt of court) application although the owner was still busy with building work on the property.
Add new reason:
5.2.6 The owner has previously contravened the Municipal Planning By-Law
