Relax a single scheme rule · SPLUMA
Departure / Relaxation Application - Lodged by SACPLAN Planners
A departure (sometimes called a relaxation) allows a property owner to deviate from a specific provision in the Land Use Scheme - typically a building line, coverage, height, floor area ratio or parking requirement - while keeping the underlying zoning the same.
It is the right route when the use is already permitted but a single dimensional rule blocks the design. Landlodz drafts the motivation, runs neighbour notification and lodges with the municipality.
