Well done Jayson!It has taken eleven years, but I have just found out the the Tulbagh Heritage Area has been approved by Witzenberg Municipal Council and has now also been publi...shed as the Tulbagh Conservation Overlay Zone in the Western Cape Government Gazette. This is amazing news and will ensure that our town, its old buildings and trees are protected and stand the best chance of being sensitively developed in future. Going forward a Witzenberg Municipal Conservation Advisory Committee will be established to oversee all development applications in the designated area. The designated area consists of Church, Van der Stel and Piet Retief Streets as well as the Galgeheuwel Nature Reserve. The purpose of the Conservation area Overlay Zone is to guide development in order to protect and enhance the character of an area, which has special historical, heritage, cultural, environmental, amenity or architectural value. The overlay zone gives the Municipality a mechanism whereby additional measures and conditions can be imposed with which to mitigate the potential adverse impact of development on the receiving environment. Tulbagh Conservation Area Overlay Zone An area may be designated as a Conservation area Overlay Zone based on its exceptional historic interest, heritage or cultural value, vernacular or other architectural significance, environmental or other conservation worthy aesthetic or landscape criteria.
