ProposalDescription: 

The Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality (BCMM) (the Applicant) requested Environmental Impact Management Services (Pty) Ltd (EIMS) to undertake necessary steps to prepare and submit applications for environmental authorisation (EA) to the competent authority, the Eastern Cape Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism (ECDEDEAT), for the proposed Sunny South Housing Development which falls within the BCMM in the Eastern Cape Province. The project aims to provide each suitable beneficiary with a formal housing unit from a planned 540 erven grid. The project proposes to provide suitable beneficiaries with formal housing units (with basic services infrastructure such as adequate sanitation, water and electricity). The area has been rezoned from agricultural to residential land use due to the BCMM’s need for providing formal housing infrastructure to growing communities which currently reside in informal dwellings. Kantey and Templer (2012) made mention of the existence of two grave sites within the development site. The positions of the grave sites are located within some of the proposed residential erven and/or road reserve boundaries. Therefore a comprehensive Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) has been ordered to verify the existence of any heritage features on the site.
