Residential
Plan Active has been successfully involved with obtaining approvals for subdivisions of single and multi-residential erven as well as obtaining approval for rezonings, consent uses and departures from the Zoning Scheme Regulations. In most cases applications that involve single residential erven also require the removal of restrictive Title Deed conditions that limit the built form and land use. Plan Active also specialises in road and public place closures where the alienation of Municipal land is involved.
Being located within a tourism driven area the majority of applications in this sector are consent uses and rezonings to establish guesthouses and larger tourist accommodation establishments such as boutique hotels. Other examples of successful land use changes of single residential erven are changes to medical consulting rooms, day care facilities, local business uses that includes a combination of flats and offices.
Commercial
Due to the great influx of new residents to the Western Cape, the expansion of existing commercial areas are required as well as the establishment of new business nodes. Plan Active has been involved with obtaining land use rights for many commercial properties by means of rezoning, subdivision and the removal of restrictive Title Deed conditions. The projects that we have been involved with are offices, a combination of offices and retail opportunities, the management of baskets of rights obtained for developments and shopping centres. We have also created special zonings with specialised land use rights that are not covered in general zoning schemes.

Plan Active has been involved with the establishment and expansion of tourist accommodation developments such as large scale guesthouses, boutique hotels, hotels and guest farms. Other successfully tourist related projects that have been completed were for restaurants, wedding venues and conference facilities.
Agricultural & Agri Tourism & Agri Industry
The Western Cape is known for well-established vineyards, orchards and natural fynbos vegetation. Our wineries, nature reserves and areas of natural beauty attract a vast number of local and international tourists.

Land use rights obtained for various farms are tourist accommodation and tourist facilities consisting of campsites, glamping, self-catering units, guesthouses, wedding venues, restaurants, conference facilities and an airfield.
