The Proposed Development of Residential Apartments and Associated Infrastructure On RE/3420, Sea Vista, St Francis Bay, Eastern Cape

The proposed development will be the construction of four apartment blocks consisting of 4 floors (including ground floor) each and with a total of 36 units, a reception area, 81 parking bays, and paved pathways leading to future extension plans of a clubhouse and pool area. The entire property will need to be levelled and graded accordingly for the proposed development. The development was previously applied for and approved by the Kouga Municipality.

The site is transformed and consists of mostly anthropogenic grassland with scattered alien invasive vegetation. The biodiversity specialist identified species typical of St Francis Dune Thicket are restricted to the southern boundary of Erf 3420 where a remnant strip of this vegetation approximately 1m wide (but extending onto some adjacent properties) can be found.

Access to the property is via an existing access road off Triton Avenue. Proposed vehicle access for the development will be continued on from the existing access road.

New service infrastructure will be required, including the necessary links to municipal bulk services, including water supply lines, sewerage mains, stormwater infrastructure and electricity supply lines.
