SITE LOCATION & SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT
This valuable site is situated only 500 meters from the UKZN entrance gate, UKZN Westville Campus, making it a prized investment acquisition.
The arial plan attached in the photos, shows the locality and position and the specific municipal zoning of the surrounding properties, in relation to the development site and the UKZN Campus.
Please note that the informal houses that are near this site, are more than 1 kilometre away from the property and importantly, it is the cities intention to change this mango plantation settlement, into a social housing project, as part of the clean-up of the areas inhabitants, who have been living there for over 30 years. There is also bush and a buffer row of residential properties between the shack dwellers and the development site.
The housing across the road and up the hill, from the development site, has been established there for many years and in fact, there is also a portion directly across the road from the development site, that has already been developed for and is currently operating as, student accommodation.
The vacant land that is closer to and alongside the varsity campus, is actually owned by the UKZN and has specifically been zoned for non-residential purposes. Parts of these two sites are also specified as demos, so it can never be built upon, due to indigenous grasses and local flora.
