A judgment that will determine the course of building in Camps Bay as well as the future of CBRRA is eagerly awaited. CBRRA fights to retain the present desirable character of Camps Bay and to safeguard home owners from the destructive trends by some developers to build in such a way that the neighbours’ amenities and property values are adversely affected.
The result of a long running saga concerning the partly constructed house on the corner of Geneva Drive and Blinkwater Road was finally held at the Supreme Court of Appeal at Bloemfontein on 26th August. A landmark judgment in every sense of the words. Sadly, the main costs for the defenders are borne not by the owners of the property but the Cape Town City Council, represented at the expense of every rate payer by some of the best known advocates in this field. Neighbours and CBRRA have had to bear all their own costs and if the case is lost will be liable for those of the defence.
Judgment is expected within the next few weeks.
