ProposalDescription: 

The proposed establishment of a 15-ha mixed-use development, located on Erf 234 New England (220 Murray Road), within the Msunduzi Local and uMgungundlovu District Municipality, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed establishment of a 15-ha mixed-use development, located on Erf 234 New England (220 Murray Road), within the Msunduzi Local and uMgungundlovu District Municipality, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. A specialist Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) of the proposed development site was undertaken by Lindsay Napier Architect. The findings of the Heritage Impact Assessment revealed that no heritage sites were identified on the proposed development property, however historical buildings are present on site. A desktop Paleontological Assessment (PIA) was conducted by Gary Trower as the proposed development is situated within an area where the underlying geology is given a moderate paleo-sensitivity rating on the South African Heritage Resources Agency map, and these deposits may contain some palaeontological material. A desktop Palaeontological Assessment was necessary to evaluate the likelihood of fossil material being present within the boundaries of the proposed development, and to evaluate whether any further palaeontological assessment is required.
