Benoni notes on plans & approvals
Plans in Benoni go through the City of Ekurhuleni, and the Benoni customer care centre is the usual drop point. Smallholdings at Putfontein and Benoni AH are zoned agricultural in many cases, so a second dwelling or shed needs the right consent before drawings. A good draughtsperson will ask for the title deed and zoning certificate in the first week.
Homes and buildings in Benoni
Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand: older suburbs such as Northmead, Rynfield and Farrarmere have large stands with mature trees, Lakefield and Crystal Park hold newer family houses, and the smallholdings at Putfontein and Benoni AH carry sheds, stables and extra dwellings. Owners often ask for a second storey on a 1970s house, a granny flat for a parent, or a plan to subdivide a large erf. Daveyton and Etwatwa have their own mix of extended RDP houses and backyard rooms. Draughtspersons are spread through the suburbs and mostly work on residential jobs.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Families building a new house: a designed house that suits the slope, the sun and the family, with someone watching the build
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a sensitive redesign of an older house, including heritage questions and a clear new layout
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a farmhouse, lodge or homestead designed for the site, the heat and the local materials
- Rental and granny flat investors: a multi-unit or student-housing design that fits the zoning and gets the most from the stand
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: an architect's drawings or advice to unlock the value in a stand or an older property
- Developers and builders: a design team lead for a townhouse cluster or small estate, from concept through to council
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a designed shop, restaurant or office that works for customers, staff and the fire rules
