Residents reject plan

fice hours. It is the intention of Engen Petroleum to replace its current training centre in Edgemead with this one in Durbanville “as Durbanville is ideal in terms of location and accessibility from the N1 and airport”, according to the notice. The current filling station – rented by Hillside Motors and used as a filling station, workshop and carwash – will be demolished and be totally re-constructed into a new Engen filling station with a completely new forecourt with four filling points. Other facilities will include a shop with a fast food outlet, a bak-

An application by Engen Petroleum to redevelop a filling station in Durbanville Hills, has been met with vehement resistance by residents. The plan is give the existing Engen filling station, on the corner of The Hills Road and Durbanville Avenue, a complete overhaul and add a training centre on a second floor. According to the notice to surrounding residents, the training centre will be used for the exclusive training of dealers and managers of Engen service stations during of-

ery, offices and toilets. The total height of the double storey building will be about 9,3m. This new application came after an application by Engen Petroleum in October 2010 for special consent to have an adjacent residential house on the corner of The Hills Road and Drakenstein Street partially transformed into a training centre. Engen bought the house in 2009 for R3,2 million. However, residents are opposed to the increased activity this newly proposed development will cause in this quiet residential area and worry that the parking of trainees will spill over in the surrounding

streets. Kobus Knoblauch, one of the direct neighbours, said he and his family settled in Durbanville Hills for the tranquil environment. “I find it ridiculous that a small commercial node be created within a residential area, while the business centre of Durbanville is only 1,5km away. It is totally unacceptable,” he said. “There will be an increase in traffic by clients, suppliers with trucks and delivery vehicles, employees and also people attending training. It will also increase the noise level,” he said. Knoblauch said because of the is-

land in Durbanville Avenue which prohibits exit to the south, traffic will travel via Drakenstein and Sentinel roads, increasing the traffic in the neighbourhood. “It will be dangerous for schoolchildren who travel by bicycle and families who walk their dogs,” he said. According to him the proposed plan does not provide for enough parking. “Only 24 parking bays are supplied, but they plan to train 15 students at a time. That leaves only nine parking bays for the course trainers, six office workers and clients,” he said. . To page 2.
