Annandale residential development, Balgowan

Collins Residential (Pty) Ltd proposes to construct a new residential development on the Remainder of Portion 7 Wilde Als Spruit Farm No. 1085 in Balgowan. The property is 14.03 hectares in extent and currently zoned as “Agricultural”. The proposed Annandale residential development is comprised of 35 large free-standing residential erven, 20 smaller residential erven and 7 semi-detached cottages. A new road network is proposed on the site to service the individual houses. The total development footprint is approx. 7.25 hectares. The existing farmhouse on the property will be retained as a Club House. Due to the rural location of the study area, there are no municipal water or sewerage reticulation networks for the development to connect into. Potable water will therefore be supplied using a borehole on site and a package plant established to treat sewage. Treated wastewater will be used for irrigation of the gardens and the overflow discharged into the watercourse
