Sandown  –  the  suburb  

Extent:  

• 190Ha  of  land  

Land  uses  and  Housing  Potential:  

• While Sandown is predominantly a residential development, it also provides a significant area of open space and a wide range of educational and commercial mixed-use opportunities.

• From a built environment point of view, the range of development opportunities will create an urban landscape with contrasts in height, massing and architectural appearance. This, together with the undulating topography, will ensure an interesting urban landscape.

• While it is the intention to provide a higher income residential living environment, the range of residential opportunities will also allow new homeowners to buy into the development, as well as providing high-end investment opportunities for the well-established homeowners.

• The residential component provides for a range of residential products, ranging from smaller entry level erven through medium to the larger erven.

• Additionally, higher density apartment development along Sandown Road will be incorporated into the mixed-use fabric of this linear zone.

Position:  

Sandown  is:  • positioned  east  of  Wood  Drive  where  the  Parklands  College  (Sandown  Campus)  has  been  

established,  north  of  Sandown  Road  and  extends  in  a  easterly  direction  towards  the  recently  launched  Rivergate  development.  

• within  walking  distance  to  Checkers  Hyper,  Virgin  Active  and  the  Food  Lovers  Market  situated  in  the  adjoining  Parklands  North  development.  

• by  road,  approximately  5km  to  Big  Bay,  4km  to  Blouberg  Beachfront  and  4km  to  Flamingo  Vlei.  

• on  the  MyCiti  Bus  collector  route,  with  change-­‐over  at  Bayside  Centre  to  Cape  Town  CBD.  • by  road,  21km  to  the  Cape  Town  International  Conference  Centre.    

Development  opportunities  /  potential:  

• Commercial  opportunities  include  both  retail  (shops)  and  offices,  positioned  along  Sandown  Road  –  the  “commercial  precinct”.  

• A  total  of  93,000sq  metres  of  commercial  bulk  has  been  approved  for  development  in  this  precinct.  To  put  this  in  perspective,  that’s  the  same  size  as  18  rugby  fields.  

• Sandown  Road  is  the  new  road  link  between  the  West  Coast  Road  (R27)  and  the  National  Road  to  the  north  (N7).  

• Residential  opportunities,  some  1,500  to  2,000  residential  homes  are  to  be  built  here  with  plot  sizes  typically  ranging  from  300  to  750m².  

• Institutional  and  education.  The  Parklands  College  (Sandown  Campus)  has  been  established  here.  Now  amongst  the  top  15  schools  in  the  Western  Cape,  this  college  occupies  15.5Ha  of  land  allowing  for  further  expansion  of  the  school.  

 

Property  Owners  Association:  

• A  Property  Owners  Association  will  be  formed  to  ensure  that  the  suburb  is  developed  and  maintained  to  an  appropriate  standard.  

• The  trustee  body  will  comprise  of  residents  and  the  township  developer.  • All  registered  owners  shall  be  members  of  the  association.  • A  management  company  will  be  appointed  to  manage  the  affairs  of  the  POA.  • POAs  have  proven  to  add  value  to  the  property  and  are  created  for  the  benefit  of  the  

residents.    

Guidelines:  

• Commercial  guidelines  (approved  by  the  City  of  CT)  have  been  prepared.  The  guidelines  outline  the  façade,  the  character  for  the  development  of  the  Sandown  Commercial  Precinct.  The  purpose  of  the  design  guideline  is  to  ensure  that  the  incremental  development  of  the  precinct  creates  a  harmonious  and  functional  urban  environment  along  Sandown  Road,  as  part  of  the  Sandown  Development.  

• Residential  guidelines  are  managed  by  the  developer.  The  single  residential  erven  are  zoned  Single  Residential  Zone  1  (SR1)  in  terms  of  the  City’s  Integrated  Zoning  Scheme  (IZS).  The  guidelines  must  be  read  together  with  the  IZS.  Similarly,  the  National  Building  Regulations  apply.  

• Sandown  is  aimed  at  the  establishing  opportunities  for  the  security  estate  residential  market  and  it  is  envisaged  that  the  layout,  landscaping  and  urban  character  of  these  estates  will  reflect  this  upmarket  image.  

• The  high  standard  of  top  structure  and  development  has  already  been  set  by  the  Parklands  College  (Sandown  Campus)  and  it  is  encouraged  that  the  design  of  the  residential  units  should  follow  on  with  this  principle.  

• While  the  guidelines  are  not  intended  to  prescribe  a  certain  architectural  style,  “revivalist”  or  “period”  architectural  styles  are  not  permitted.  Instead  a  modern  contemporary  language  in  architecture  is  encouraged.  

• In  support  of  this  built  form,  certain  colours  and  building  material  are  excluded.  • A  palate  of  suitable  colours  has  been  determined  for  the  external  colour  treatment  of  the  

top  structure.  

Review  Committee:  

• All  plans  for  commercial,  residential  and  other  related  uses  must  be  submitted  to  the  review  committee,  for  approval,  prior  to  their  submission  to  the  City.  

• The  review  committee  will  ensure  that  the  plans  conform  to  the  guidelines.  • MLH  Architects  and  Townplanners  will  be  appointed  as  the  review  committee.  

       

Greenbelt,  Fynbos  corridor,  open  space  for  recreation:  

• Large land areas for the Fynbos Corridor, the Table View Nature Reserve and stormwater management will be ceded to the City as public assets and extension of the biodiversity network.

• This feature is a dominant element in the urban design framework of Sandown through the creation of a central linear open space system.

• Future public open space for recreation (sports fields), are situated immediately north of Sandown.

Roads  and  connecting  services:  

• MyCiti  Bus  collector  route  • The  Sandown  Road  Link  situated  on  the  southern  edge  of  Sandown  provides  a  major  road  

link  between  the  R27  (West  Coast  Road)  and  the  N7  (National  Road  to  Namibia).    • N7  (southbound)  to  CT  International  Airport.  

Timing  and  phases:  

• The  1st  phase  of  Sandown  (Phase  1A)  has  been  approved.  The  college  together  with  the  abutting  single  residential  and  commercial  properties  are  situated  in  this  phase.  These  commercial  properties  are  now  available  for  sale.  Selling  prices  are  from  R1,400  /  m².  

• The  phase  1B  application  has  been  submitted.  Once  approved,  this  will  result  in  further  single  residential  erven  looping  back  to  the  first  gateway  into  Sandown  off  Sandown  Road.  

• The  Phase  2  application  has  been  submitted.  This  application  deals  with  the  first  gated  village  (positioned  immediately  north  of  the  school).  The  launch  of  this  village  will  be  undertaken  after  approval,  which  approval  is  anticipated  at  the  end  of  2014  /  beginning  of  2015.
