Case Decision - 182845

Please be advised as follows:-
(1)           The Institute was unable to consider the merits of the application as the work had already commenced, alternatively, has been completed;
(2)           As a result, a permit cannot now be issued;
(3)           Attention is drawn to the fact that failure to obtain a permit prior­ to the commencement of the work, was in contravention of the provisions of The KwaZulu-Natal Institute Act (5 of 2018), and as such is a criminal offence for which the culprit/s may be prosecuted;
(4)           However, The Institute has decided to condone the failure to obtain a permit, as required, on condition that the work was conducted strictly in accordance with drawing numbers LTK 90_D01- LTK90_D02- LTK 90_D03, dated 21/06/2021, received by the Institute on 06 June 2022 (uploaded to Sahris on the 14 June 2022), and that all the work shown on the application is completed within a calendar year of the date of this letter.
(5)           Prior written approval from The Institute is required for any deviation to the approved plans.
(6)           No legal action will be instituted in this instance and this letter serves as approval for the work shown on the approved drawings.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ABOVE IS A STRUCTURE PROTECTED IN TERMS OF THE KWAZULU-NATAL AMAFA AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE ACT (5 OF 2018).  A PERMIT MUST BE OBTAINED PRIOR TO ANY WORK BEING CONDUCTED IN THE FUTURE. FAILURE TO DO SO IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE THAT IS PUNISHABLE BY A TERM OF IMPRISONMENT OR A FINE, OR BOTH. THE PROPERTY MAY ALSO BE FORFEITED TO THE STATE. FURTHERMORE, A MORATORIUM MAY BE PLACED ON ANY DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY.
