OURT orders obtained by a neighbour against two guesthouse owners in Summerstrand compelling them to demolish portions of their expensive properties have raised questions about the large number of other houses in the area that are also contravening their title deed restrictions. According to the DA Ward Councillor, Dean Biddulph, there are in excess of 50 property owners in the area who have similarly contravened their own title deed restrictions and who may have built with municipality approved plans. Marais Ellis of Equus Guesthouse in Sixth Avenue was ordered by the PE High Court to demolish because the restrictive conditions on the title deed were exceeded. Ellis constructed additions to his property after being granted approval to lift the restrictions by the municipality and Local Government MEC, Mlibo Qoboshiyane. He was taken to court by abutting neigbours, Dr Philippus van Rensburg and his wife Wilma. In court it was argued that Ellis had built over the building lines contained in the original title deed for the erf when the suburb was originally declared. In this case, both the metro, as well as Ellis, were taken to court. The judge in the case ruled that a municipal zoning scheme can never override the specific conditions contained in the title deed document and that the metro was in fact remiss in not checking every building application for such compliance before approving any plans. The other guesthouse owners, Perapanjakam and Persotam Naidoo of Access Guesthouse in Seventh Avenue, were also taken to court by the
Van Rensburgs. The Naidoos were ordered by the PE High Court to demolish a portion of their multimillion-rand guesthouse by February 20. The court made the decision on the basis of the property’s title deed. Die Burger reported that at a house
committee meeting of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality in January, councillors asked municipal officials to investigate why the Naidoos building plans were approved in the first place. The issue was postponed until a
full report has been submitted. At this meeting ANC councillor Lawrence Troon asked the officials what criteria were used to impose restrictions.
