Bellville notes on plans & approvals
For Bellville, plans are lodged with the City of Cape Town, usually via the Tygervalley district office, and zoning along the Voortrekker Road corridor often allows greater density. Many owners in Welgemoed and Oakdale are subdividing, which needs a land surveyor and a town planning application before building plans. Ask your draughtsperson whether your stand has a servitude or a height restriction.
Homes and buildings in Bellville
Bellville has grown from a Tygerberg railway town into the northern suburbs' business centre, and plans here reflect that. Office towers and flats are replacing older houses along Voortrekker Road and Tygervalley, while Welgemoed, Plattekloof and Oakdale hold family homes on mid-sized stands that owners extend and subdivide. Student lets cluster near the CPUT and UWC campuses. Panorama and Durbanville add hillside stands with views over the Tygerberg and wheat country. Sandy soil, the south-easter and heavy winter rain affect foundations and roofs, and every plan goes to the City of Cape Town's northern district.
