How a new sectional title development will
change this is beyond me, except of course
if the development‟s proposed market is not
South African? The concern posed relates
to the market for foreign tourists that the
sectional title deed units would attract, the
comment follows. This also links up with the
price of units, which may place it outside the
local market. It will be a sad day if
Struisbaai becomes “Struis Bay” because of
the make-up of owners here.
The developer must adhere to the building
restrictions of erf 848.
When the plots were bought and the houses
were built the harbour area was not
supposed to be rezoned as a residential
area.
Building height that is greater than two
stories is not allowed in Struisbaai.
Everyone has to adhere to these
regulations for so many years.
I find it strange to note that the fact that the
applicant owns Erf 848 be used as
justification for an application for change of
use ("only land available to"). Why did he
purchase it in the first instance, and why not
a more suitable erf? Were we all born
yesterday?
The height of the proposed building is a
concern
I don‟t have objections to the development
of the property, however I do object to the
proposed four storey development that
apparently exceeds certain building
regulations and would put additional strain
on municipal services.
Please refer to Section 2.4.6 and 2.8 of the
FEIR regarding Feasibility Assessment as
well as needs and desirability detailed in
Section 7.4.
Please refer to Sections 2.6 and 2.7 of the
FEIR.
Noted however planning legislation allows for
landowners to undertake a legal process to
alter such restrictions which may or may not
be granted by the authorities.
A new SDF has been passed in accordance
with the Municipal Systems Act as of
December 2009. The 2009 CAM SDF
promotes development within the urban edge,
of which Erf 848 is located. Please refer to
Section 1.4 and 2.7 of the FEIR
The proponent bought Erf 848 because of its
unique qualities to build the proposed
development on it and therefore does not wish
to consider other location alternatives.
Your concern is noted. Please refer to Section
5.2.6 of the FEIR and Section 1.1.95 of this
Comment and Response Report.
