Plans & approvals in Benoni: local notes

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.

  • Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a farmhouse or homestead planned for sun, wind, distance from services and a rural stand
  • Rental and granny flat investors: a family rental house designed for low upkeep, good tenant appeal and easy later extension
  • Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a house design to attach to a vacant stand, to help a buyer see what could be built

  • Shops, offices and restaurants: a manager's house or staff accommodation drawn to the same standard as the main buildings

Local tips for Benoni

Popular here: second storeys, granny flats, smallholding houses and stand subdivisions. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask whether your smallholding allows a second dwelling before drawing a flat. Who does the work: draughtspersons across the suburbs, architects in Bedfordview and Edenvale.

Jobs range from small homes to large family houses. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a house designed around the family's brief, stand and orientation, ready for council and builders. One local point to raise: lake-edge flood lines and mining ground on the older east side: ask for a survey.

What to include in your request

  • The erf number, address and stand size
  • Rooms wanted and any rooms for later
  • Single or double storey, and your budget
  • A stock plan or sketch you like, if any
  • Estate or HOA design rules that apply

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be. The brief below sketches the rooms and works out a floor area for you.
