Renovation and Alteration Process:
Council Submission: Before you start carrying out alterations or renovations to your home or building , you are required by *law, to have the plans for such work passed in terms of the Cape Town National Building Regulations by your local authority.

The Cape council’s Planning and Building Development Management Branch receives and processed thousands of applications each year. In order to ensure a smooth and quick process and a quick-turn around time of your application, it is important that your form includes all of the official requirements and supporting information as errors and omissions just slow your process down.

Sometimes, if your documentation is not submitted with the correct supporting information, this could lead to your application being denied.
