Brits notes on plans & approvals
Brits and the Hartbeespoort area fall under Madibeng Local Municipality, which handles a large and varied area from farms to townships and lakeside estates. Building plan processing can take longer in a municipality this size, so allow for that. Estates around the dam have their own architectural reviews before council, and some stands have servitudes or flood lines along the Crocodile and the dam. A local draughtsperson can check these before drawing begins.
Homes and buildings in Brits
Brits is an irrigation town on the Crocodile River, where citrus orchards, vegetables, small factories and Hartbeespoort Dam shape what gets built. Older houses in Damonsville and the town centre are being extended, and farm owners along the Magalies canal ask for homesteads and worker housing. Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie are growing with RDP houses, rooms to let and spaza shops. Around Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville, steep stands hold weekend homes and lifestyle estates with strict design guidelines. Clay and dolomite in some parts mean that the foundation question comes up often.
Typical floor plans requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: plans for a farmhouse, a homestead or rondavels on a rural stand, with a simple site plan
- Families building a new house: a full plan set for a new house, drawn to the stand and ready for council and builders' quotes
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a measured layout for a shop, office or restaurant fit-out, with the fire and access notes

- Developers and builders: unit layouts, site development plans and repeatable house types for townhouses or a small estate
- Churches, schools and crèches: plans for a church hall, crèche or classroom block, drawn for council and the fire department

Local tips for Brits
Most asked for in Brits: farm homesteads and worker houses, dam-side weekend homes, township extensions. Who draws them: draughtspersons in Brits and Hartbeespoort, engineers and surveyors in Pretoria. A useful tip: ask whether your stand is near the river or dam flood line before you draw.
Around Brits the largest group asking is farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads, which usually means plans for a farmhouse, workers' houses or a homestead, with a site plan for the rural stand. Expect sACAP-registered for council plans as the baseline, and keep in mind: clay and dolomite in places, flood lines near the river: ask about site checks.
What to include in your request
- What the plan is for: build, approve, sell or renovate
- The address or erf number and the stand size
- The rooms you want, or the size of the building

A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
