Plans & approvals in Kempton Park: local notes
Building plans here are lodged with the City of Ekurhuleni at the Kempton Park customer care centre. Close to the airport, ask whether height or noise restrictions apply to your stand, as these are controlled outside the municipality's own rules. For Tembisa stands, the draughtsperson needs the stand number and the township layout to confirm building lines before a design begins.
Homes and buildings in Kempton Park
Kempton Park sits around OR Tambo International Airport, so aircraft noise, height limits and cargo warehouses shape what gets built. Glen Marais, Bonaero Park and Birch Acres have mid-century houses with big stands and many extensions, Van Riebeeck Park and Rhodesfield are older and busier, and Tembisa to the north is dense with backyard rooms and double storey rental blocks. Chloorkop and Spartan hold light industry and guest accommodation for airport travellers. Plans are mostly extensions, rental units and commercial fit-outs, drawn by local draughtspersons and a few Edenvale architects.

Typical building plan approval requests in the area come from:
- Shops, offices and restaurants: approval for a shop or restaurant fit-out, including fire department comments
- Rental and granny flat investors: approval for a second dwelling or backyard rooms, with the zoning checked before drawing
- Families building a new house: a stamped approval before the first brick, then inspections and an occupation certificate
- Developers and builders: a submission for each house type or cluster, with the town planning steps run first
- Owners adding or changing rooms: approval for additions, with neighbour consent if a building line has to be relaxed
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approval of existing work so approved plans are on hand when the sale goes to transfer
- Churches, schools and crèches: approval for a hall, church or crèche, with fire and access requirements dealt with
