When do I need a building permit in South Africa?
In South Africa, building applications for the construction of property and land use are highly regulated.
Build a house, preferably a double storey with 4 bedrooms, main bedroom with his and hers closets, three bathrooms, two bedrooms share Jack and Jill bathroom, open plan kitchen lounge and dining rooms, scalery, tv/play room, double garage, two joined cottages at the back of the house, man cave, playground, garden and hot tub. 40 by 40 meters plot size
House is fenced from the sides and back, but no fence in front. I want a reverse L-shaped fence, from the one side of the house to the front. Side wall must be brick and plaster(white wall), and front wall must be brick and plaster foundation that's not higher than 30cm, with 3 brick and plaster pillars. Between the pillars, I will apply palisade fencing(steel, painted green).

I want to add a master bedroom that is ensuite with walk in closet and an double garage in front and a dining room with a living room, a bigger and open kitchen. My first bedroom should be wider as well. 2 pillars on the garage and a veranda with 2 pillars on the main door and a small veranda with 2 pillars on the kitchen door.
Good day. We are looking to build an outbuilding/ granny cottage for my mum. We are looking at an open plan kitchen and lounge and a bedroom with a bathroom to the side of the bedroom - L shaped building. We think that the size from the kitchen to the bedroom is 12m x 4 and the bathroom to the side is 2.5m x 3. We are looking at building against the boundary walls. We have previously obtained permission from our neighbors. Kindly contact me via whatsapp or email as I do have a hearing problem. A rough image has been attached. Thank you.
