- VerifiedEditor-approved Stellenbosch Municipality's Municipal Planning Tribunal resolved on 29 November 2024 to approve application LU/16572 for Erf 7001, Hendrickse Street, Stellenbosch (Cloetesville): closure of part of a public place, rezoning from Public Open Space Zone to Subdivisional Area Overlay Zone, and subdivision into 208 erven, of which Erf 1 to Erf 201 are Conventional Residential erven of about 115-312 m² (about 3.32 ha in total). It also approved building-line departures and consent for a telecommunications mast. The stated reason is that the municipality needs the property for an integrated urban settlement development 'with a particular goal to deliver on their mandate to provide medium to upper market housing opportunities'. The decision letter is signed for the Director: Planning and Economic Development and dated 2 December 2024.
- VerifiedEditor-approved Approved figure (not delivery) In a memo of 5 August 2024 annexed to the Erf 7001 decision letter, Stellenbosch Municipality's Infrastructure Services set conditions to be met before transfer of the first property or approval of building plans: a new 7.0 ML Cloetesville Reservoir and pump upgrades, for which it says R22 million (excluding VAT) is on the 2024/25-2026/27 budget for 'Bulk water supply pipe: Cloetesville / Idas Valley'; a bulk sewer line from Kayamandi to Merriman Street, about which it says: 'Currently this project is not on the municipal budget. Budget should therefore be allocated to unlock this housing project.'; and an extended turning lane at the R44/Hendrickse intersection. It did not support the parking departure because 'Row housing is not supported by the Infrastructure Directorate, specifically for stormwater drainage reasons'.
