Plans & approvals in Randburg: local notes
Randburg's older houses in Linden and Blairgowrie often have approved plans filed at the council records office, which saves time when you want to alter them. If the house is over 60 years old, ask your draughtsperson whether heritage permission may be needed. Subdividing a large stand for two or three townhouses means a town planning application first, and building plans only follow once that is settled.
Homes and buildings in Randburg
Randburg is a mid-sized, mostly established area north-west of the CBD, with leafy streets and a busy commercial centre around Republic Road. Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Linden and Northcliff have single-storey houses from the 1950s to 1980s on stands of around 1,000 square metres, many now extended, subdivided or replaced by townhouses. The rocky Northcliff ridge gives steep stands with views, and further out Bromhof and Strijdom Park have newer family homes. Retail and office owners along Jan Smuts Avenue need commercial plans. Renovators dominate here: adding a bedroom, enclosing a stoep or building a flat for a tenant. Plans come from nearby draughtspersons and technologists.
