Development of Farm 560

Recently several property owners in Yzerfontein received a notice from Enviro-EAP regarding an application for an Environmental Impact Assessment for a substantial property development on Farm 560 Yzerfontein. Interested and affected individuals were invited to register with Enviro-EAP to be informed of future developments.

Interested and affected persons are advised to register to ensure that they are kept informed.

Eskom has in the past advised that they do not have capacity to provide electricity for any substantial developments in Yzerfontein which was made public in a former SM Budget Report. Some years ago SM also advised that they were unable to provide sewerage services for a proposed housing development of less that one hundred erven on the coast next to the West Coast Park.

There is much the developers have to obtain approval for and residents have little if any reason for concern at present and most likely for several years. The most suitable time for objections may well be when SM publishes a notice that they have received an application for the development in its proposed or any alternative size.
