Botsmaskop development stopped, pending a full court review
A Western Cape High Court judge has granted an urgent interim interdict preventing further development of a luxury residential estate on the scenic Botmaskop mountain slopes above Helshoogte at Stellenbosch.
The interdict relates to Part A of an application brought by the Stellenbosch Interest Group (SIG) of concerned citizens. It will remain in place pending the hearing of Part B, which is a full review of the environmental authorisation granted by the Western Cape’s Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEADP) in February 2021 for the planned 77-unit Fijnbosch Residential Estate.
The current owner of the property is Botmaskop Fynbos Estate, who is one of 32 respondents to oppose the application.
None of the buyers or owners of erven on the estate opposed it.
