What is a Consent Use Application in Cape Town?

A consent use application is a formal request to the City of Cape Town for permission to use your property for a specific purpose that is not automatically permitted under its current zoning. While your property’s primary zoning dictates its main permitted uses, a consent use allows for secondary or additional uses that are generally compatible with the area’s character.

Unlike rezoning, a consent use doesn’t change the property’s underlying zoning. It grants permission for a specific, additional use.

Consent use rights are often granted with specific conditions and may be temporary (valid for a set period or linked to the current owner).

 It allows municipalities to strategically manage increasing population density by facilitating higher-density developments and expanding housing options.

Why Apply for Consent Use in Cape Town? .

A consent use application becomes necessary when you want to use your property for a purpose that falls outside its primary zoning. This could be due to:

  • Change of Use: Converting a residential property to accommodate a business, or vice versa.
  • Expanding an Existing Business: Needing more space or different types of activities than the current zoning allows.
  • Starting a Home-Based Business: Operating a business from home that has impacts beyond typical residential use (e.g., increased traffic, signage).
  • Providing a Community Service: Establishing a facility like a crèche, place of worship, or clinic.
