Case Decision - 362997

REFERRAL LETTER

The permit application in respect of the above, received and reviewed by the KwaZulu-Natal Amafa and Research Institute (The Institute) refers.  

Please be advised as follows:

• The committee noted that work had been carried out in accordance with plans approved by the municipality in 2019 without prior approval from Amafa. 
• The owner's representative contended that the property had not reached 60 years of age at that stage, but the Virginia Housing Scheme had been designed and approved in 1956, making the building 63 years of age in 2019. 
• It was noted that the proposed alterations including an extension to the laundry and an additional unit on the property had not been carried out. 

The application was therefore referred for further requirements, detailed below.

FURTHER REQUIREMENTS 

• The applicant is required to submit Form I application for the rectification of the work that had been carried out without approval and separated drawings. 
• The applicant must provide Form A with drawings showing proposed work that still needs to be done on the property. 

Written responses/requests for reconsideration of the application or consideration of new information must be loaded to the case on SAHRIS (email [email protected]) within 30 days of the date of this letter or any requirements/decisions contained herein will be considered final.  Extensions of this time frame can be requested upon receipt of motivation.

Required additional information or revised drawings must be submitted within six months from the date of this letter or the application will lapse and a new application will be required.

THIS LETTER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE FORMAL APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED TO THE INSTITUTE.  UNAUTHORISED WORK CARRIED OUT ON THE ABOVE SITE WILL BE IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE KWAZULU-NATAL AMAFA AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE ACT (5 of 2018).
