Revised Draft BAR Proposed Construction of a Residential Dwelling and Four Self-Catering guest cottages on Erf 2003, Wilderness

Preferred Alternative:

Proposed Development:

Buildings and Structures:

➢ 1 x main dwelling house of 200 m² with a deck of 175m² and a 30m² swimming pool = Total footprint 405m²

➢ 4 x self-catering 2-storey eco-tourism tree-top pods of 98m² each with a 42m² deck for each unit = Total footprint 560m² 

Proposed Development:

Infrastructure:

➢ There will be designated parking areas in the northwestern section of the property that also makes provision for a total of 8x vehicles = Total footprint 337m2

➢ From the parking areas and the main dwelling house, there will be wooden decking walkways 0.5m above the forest floor meandering through the trees to the pods, hence no roads will be developed on the property = Total footprint 194m2

➢ Service infrastructure will be connected to walkways where possible – this will decrease the volume of earth being excavated.
