Case Decision - 183336

The HOC-meeting decided that the owner must compile an affidavit explaining why he proposes for restoration in Form I but asks for demolition in another document. Section 37 of the KZN Amafa & Research Institute Act stipulates that a permit is needed for any work such as addition or alteration or restoration or demolition of a building older than 60 years (for which Form A should have been completed). Several local people has informed the Institute that the owner was aware of the heritage value this building being the first shop and house built in Winterton.Secondly, clarify the street address of the building applicable, is it 22 or17B Springfield?Thirdly, why did the Okhahlamba Municipality's Planning Department drew up plans which included the demolition of a building older than 60 years, which should have gone to the KZN Amafa & Research Institute for a decision?

An affidavit is needed from the Okhahlamba Municipality.Fourthly, please upload the SACAP-accreditation of the person who drew the plans.Fifthly, the plans/drawings sent are not the full set of plans showing the position of the original building.
