This includes uses like a second dwelling, house shops, or guest houses, and development is subject to specific by-laws, regulations, and planning
schemes.

Additional uses with consent
• With the consent of the City of Cape Town, other uses may be permitted, such as:
o A second dwelling on the property
o A "house shop"
o A guest house
o A place of instruction
Governance and development
• Development is governed by the City of Cape Town's Development Management Scheme (DMS) and the property's title deed.
• Amendments to zoning by-laws have updated development rules, including those for height, building lines, and other building specifications.

Important considerations
