ProposalDescription: 

The project entails a residential and commercial development, consisting of 218 single residential erven ranging in size from 500 to 1000 square meters. The commercial portion of 2,7 ha is situated at the intersection of the R301 and Schuurmansfontein Road. Access to the residential and commercial portions will be taken from Schuurmansfontein Road, as per the requirements of the Provincial Traffic Engineer. The residential development will be screened by planting along Schuurmansfontein Road. The only heritage resource in the vicinity of the site is the Mandela Prison House and historic farm gateposts, situated at the other end of Schuurmansfontein Road at a distance of 1,1km from the north-western corner of the site. The proposed development will not impact on the sense of place of the setting of the house or the historic gate structure. Note that although the R301(Wemmershoek Road) is indicated as a scenic route, the designation only applies to views to the east of the road onto the Wemmershoek Mountains. Views to the west are not regarded as important. Thus the small holdings to the west of this road, which includes the site in question, does not fall within a proposed heritage overlay zone and has been designated for mixed-use development in the Drakenstein SDF.
