01The brief.
The brief was a Spatial Development Framework Review for Dannhauser Local Municipality. Reviewing a framework means reconsidering the existing spatial direction in the light of the municipality’s current planning needs and the information available about its area.
02Understanding the place.
The public municipal planning documents identify Dannhauser, Hattingspruit and Durnacol within the settlement network. Roads, rural settlements, agricultural land and the municipality’s position in Amajuba provide the geographic context for the review.
03Why it matters.
A framework review helps maintain a coherent basis for land-use and development decisions. It connects the longer-term planning direction with the changing needs of different settlements and their links to surrounding areas.
