What to know locally in Middelburg
Plans in Middelburg are submitted to the Steve Tshwete municipality, which also runs the town planning scheme. Check the zoning of your erf before you draw, because many stands in Eastdene and Aerorand allow a second dwelling only under conditions. A draughtsperson who works here regularly will know what the building control office tends to ask, such as drainage connection points and the energy fenestration forms. Start with a pre-submission chat if you are unsure.
Homes and buildings in Middelburg
Middelburg is a steady Highveld town where the steel and stainless works, farms and the N4 corridor shape the building trade. Eastdene, Aerorand and Kanonkop hold older single-storey houses on large stands, many of them now being extended, and subdivided in a few cases. Newer family homes go up near the Middelburg Dam side of town, and Mhluzi has RDP houses growing with backyard rooms and spaza shops on the corner stands. Farmers from the Hendrina and Belfast side often come in for a homestead or farm-worker house. Plans are usually drawn by local draughtspersons who work from home offices or small studios.
