The plot previously accommodated a single home which has already been demolished. Adjacent plots are vacant to the west, with a petrol station to the east. The southern boundary faces the main road and is the access point to the site, while the northern boundary fronts the Mzimnene River.  Steve Hall Development Consultants Alone Tembe said the design proposal was based on a composition of mainly residential accommodation and a shop supported by an adequate car parking provision.
