As required to compliment a Basic Assessment application the national web-based screening tool was used to generate a screening report. The screening report lists a variety of specialist studies to be undertaken based on the data informants of the tool at the study area. This site sensitivity verification report, following ground-truthing of the site, motivates the reason why certain specialist studies will not be required or conducted for the proposed development application.
The site was zoned as 'Special Zone' by the Kouga Municipality. In addition, a similar design layout proposal was submitted to the Kouga Municipality in 2008 and approved.
