1.5 Identification of Amendments to Development Approvals/Consents

The fifth of eight steps in the Land and Development Rights Audit phase.

Step 4 (Review of Development Approvals/Consents) will generally have identified issues, problems, omissions, impediments and conflicts with and between the different approvals/consents such as SPLUMA, NEMA etc. and conflicts between applicable Municipal Departments such as Environment, Town Planning and Building Control.

These may give rise to the specific approval/consent to be amended.

The above is not a ‘quick fix’ and may take many months to effect. It must also be supported by the relevant professionals such as the Professional Land Surveyor, Professional Planner and Conveyancer.

Any amendment that will give rise to a registration in a Deeds Office will require careful scrutiny by a conveyancer to ensure that such condition is indeed registrable.
