Before committing to a development project, understanding your property’s full planning potential is essential. Gibbs Planning & Development investigates the development potential of a specific property and prepares a comprehensive planning report advising clients on applicable planning procedures, specific legislative requirements, expected municipal timeframes, and the cost implications of alternative development proposals — giving you the clarity needed to make informed investment decisions.
In addition to development investigations, GP&D also provides site planning services. Where a development proposal is ready to be implemented, a site development plan (SDP) is prepared in collaboration with the broader professional team — including architects, engineers and land surveyors — ensuring the proposed development is correctly positioned, zoned and laid out in accordance with all applicable town planning and building regulations in Gauteng and across South Africa.
A thorough development investigation by a SACPLAN-registered town planner protects your investment before you commit resources. GP&D’s expert advice ensures you understand exactly what is achievable on your property — legally, financially and within South African planning timeframes — before a single application is submitted.
