calls for crackdown on illegal buildings in Milnerton"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Scores of residents in Milnerton joined forces and staged a protest against alleged unauthorised illegal buildings in their neighbourhood on Saturday 6 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They took to the streets to voice their concerns claiming that the developers of these illegal dwellings both infringe the Cape Town Municipal Planning By-laws and Land Use Management Acts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For years, Milnerton Central and surrounding neighbourhoods have been grappling with an uptick in the illegal establishment of boarding houses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resident\u2019s Associations are considering legal action against property owners establishing boarding houses in the area without zoning approvals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 160 problem properties were identified across suburbs in Milnerton with most of them in Summer Greens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protesters gathered at the open space on the corner of Pringle and Consair roads in Sanddrift, held placards in their hands, raised slogans and demanded the City of Cape Town safeguard their interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The peaceful protest called on the Deputy Mayor, Eddie Andrews to receive a signed petition with demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the residents and organisers of the protest, who wishes to remain anonymous after previously receiving threats from developers, says the protest was held to express their continued dissatisfaction surrounding the lack of efficiency of the current systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bribery-and-corruption\">Bribery and corruption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>He claims that in most cases owners of these properties are foreign nationals who take advantage of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says these ongoing challenges continue to have quantitively impacted negatively on property values while degrading the intrinsic nature of the suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe intensity and frequency of these infringements in turn poses a substantial risk to diminish revenue derived by the City of Cape Town from property rates and taxes,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\"

as building inspectors approve building plans which are clearly illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI invite all to come and take a look at the property in Danielle Road and tell me how this was approved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says these illegal buildings do not only decrease their property value but is also a safety and health hazard for neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA thorough investigation into this matter needs to take place,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-memorandum\">Memorandum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\"

departments, ensuring these by-laws are enforceable, thereby inhibit future risk of this continuing as priority, as well as the implementation of increasing penalties for deviations of approved plans

the community and called for an urgent meeting to be arranged with the ratepayers associations, \u201cwith a view to setting up a task team to address the various concerns raised by the residents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He confirmed the need for dedicated enforcement with specific outcomes to be implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He told <span><em>TygerBurger<\/em><\/span> that the alleged unlawful uses and structures are being investigated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce the contraventions are established, relevant notices are served. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn some instances where developers\/owners do not comply with the notices issued by Building\/Property Inspectors, further legal action is pursued, petitioning the relevant courts in order to obtain compliance with applicable laws, be it the National Building Regulations and Standards Act (NBR) and \/or the City of Cape Town Municipal Planning By-Law (MPBL),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The City is pursuing litigation in the Western Cape High Court involving \u201ca number of repeat offenders and the elaborate legal processes are viewed as deterrents for future contraventions linked to the same owners,\u201d he elaborated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This wil continue and they aim to strengthen their efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will take on a more proactive approach, he emphasises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will investigate how we can fine-tune a more dedicated approach to address various concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe City will exercise its options to petition the courts for cessation of unlawful building works or to prevent occupation of unlawful buildings in cases of rapid construction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProcesses leading to compliance may include court orders to demolish unlawful structures\/ cease unlawful land uses, or orders to regularise unlawful structures\/uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDevelopment applications submitted to regularise unlawful uses\/structures will still be evaluated in terms of the criteria stipulated in the applicable laws, which aim to promote appropriate
