EDITOR – Many thanks for your fine and informative publication.
ALSO READ: Letter: Resident concerned about the state of traffic lights in Greenstone
It is a pleasure to read every Wednesday.
Could you provide me with advice or clarity on the following two issues?
I came across another resident in our area who covers the pavement outside their home with rocks, rendering the pavement impassible to pedestrians and forcing them to walk in the street.
Is this legal or permitted? If not, how do I take action on this matter?
ALSO READ: LETTER: ‘What will be the next change in Modderfontein?’
I want to start a business from home – a car repair garage and auto electrical shop – but I am unsure if there are by-laws restricting this. (I live in Dunvegan).
For instance, is my area zoned for business rights, or is it purely residential?
How do we differentiate between the two?
As an example: There are a couple of plumbing businesses operating in our area and a martial arts studio.

Are they operating legally (being in a residential area) or are they taking a chance that nobody will complain about it?
Both businesses cause problems concerning traffic, and street parking is in short supply.
Thank you in advance for your help.
