MPT South Western

Resolution details

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY that:

An administrative penalty in the amount of R20 000.00 BE DETERMINED in terms of Section 129 of the City of Cape Town Municipal Planning By-Law, 2015 in respect of Erf 176338 Cape Town with regard to the unauthorised office use.

REASONS FOR DECISION:

The MPT APPROVED the application for the reasons set out in the Planner’s report, except reason 6.4 which is amended as follows:

6.4. The gravity of the contravention is serious given that the entire property is being used in contravention of the MPBL; there is a parking shortfall (hence the need for a parking departure); it is on a very busy road (ie Edinburgh Drive); and the use is not in compliance with the Southern District Plan- Hence the decision by the panel to increase the penalty amount.
