Date: 21-01-2010
To :The Secretary Liquor Board Local Committee
Objection to Liquor license application .
DOLL HOUSE ROADHOUSE ,377 Louis Botha Ave, Highlands North (Hawkins Estate)
WE The Orange Grove Residents Assn_(OGRA)____
Object to the application because I/we are concerned that the applicant has materially misrepresented the facts that relate to points (6)
and (8) in the schedule.
The Doll House is ,in fact ,in the centre of a large concentration of places of worship and educational institutions all within one kilometer
of the applicants premises. The issuing of a license to the applicant will seriously affect the amenity and character of the surrounding
suburbs. It will impact negatively on the educational institutions and places of worship that are located in close proximity.
Our further comments are:
The applicant appears to think that we are unaware that he allows the Winners Chapel Church
opposite The Doll House to use his parking lot on Sundays. His affirmation in 8) in the schedule
that there are no places of worship in a 1 km radius is patently untrue. Other places of worship
within the 1km radius include a Synagogue and a Baptist Church and a Catholic church & school.
His affirmation in 6) in the schedule that there are no educational institutions in a 1 km radius is
also patently untrue, The Torah Academy, St Mary’s and Highland Boys and others are all well
within the 1km radius.
The granting of any liquor license to the applicant, considering his total misrepresentation on
the application would not be in the public interest. The area has already seen a material
degradation with the proliferation of liquor outlets along Louis Botha Ave. OGRA works closely
with the Jhb City Safety Programme /SAPS and Urban Management to deal with the alcohol abuse
along this strip . Our experience with similar establishments in the area IE Club 88 in Norwood,
where the parking lot became an extension of the club and created a massive problem for
residents and businesses and this points to the possibility of the same situation at the Doll House.
The very nature of the Doll House as a drive in where families with children frequent mitigates
against the sale of alcohol on the premises. The proximity to Hilson Park and their recreation
facilities plus the residential blocks of flats across the road is cause for concern. OGRA is totally
opposed to this application.

PLACES OF PUBLIC WORSHIP
AND
GENERAL REGULATIONS
PLACES OF PUBLIC WORSHIP<REQUIREMENTS FOR TOWN PLANNING AND BUILDING PERMISSION
10 FEBRUARY 2010
1.Title Deeds for the property. May be obtained from the owner of the property, or from the bond holder or
from the Deeds Office.
The Title Deed (or Deed of Transfer) is a legal document. It is a contract which is binding on the owner of the
property. If the property is used for ANY use which is not permitted in the Title Deeds, the owner of the
property is committing a criminal offence. The error must either rectified. If he/she does not correct the
offence he/she will be taken to court, fined and even jailed.
2.Zoning of the property: May be obtained from the City Council. The zoning of the property will control
whether the applicant must apply for the Consent of the Council to permit a Place of Worship or whether the
site must be rezoned.
The Town Planning Scheme controls use of a property.
3.The RSDF: The Regional Spacial Development Framework is a document which guides the Town Planning
Department in Land Use
4.No building of anything is permitted on a property without approved building plans. This includes
alterations to existing buildings, (internal and external), perimeter fencing/walling, re-roofing, anything
to do with plumbing, etc.
5.No change of use of an existing building is permitted without town planning approval as well as
approved plans
6.Building plans must comply with the National Building Regulations: These regulations are concerned
with health and safety of the people who use the buildings and are concerned with the health and safety
of people who live and/or work in the surrounding area. Health and safety is ‘non-negotiable’.
7.Heritage: Any building which is over 60 years old may not be altered in any way whatsoever without
application to Provincial Heritage (PHRAG.) No demolition may be undertaken (even if the building is in
poor condition) without a demolition permit.
8.The size of the congregation is very important. The requirements for service provision, parking, etc.
depend on the number of people who may occupy the building. It is bad policy to underestimate the size
of the congregation. Even if the building and property are only fully occupied once or twice a year, the
space requirements required for full attendance must be adhered to.
9.
PARKING REQUIREMENTS: 1 BAY ON SITE PER 3 CONGREGANTS. PARKING
ELSEWHERE DOES NOT COUNT. IF PARKING IS ON AN ADJOINING STAND, THAT STAND
MUST BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THE STAND ON WHICH THE PLACE OF WORSHIP STANDS.
10.
ACCESS AND EGRESS TO THE SITE MUST COMPLY WITH ROADS AND TRAFFIC
DEPARTMENT REQUIREMENTS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS AUTHORITY MAY REQUIRE A
TRAFFIC STUDY, IF THE FACILITY IS LOCATED ON A BUSY ROAD.
11.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR SEATING: 1 SQUARE METER PER PERSON. I.E. FOR A
CONGREGATION OF, SAY, 300 THE SERVICE MUST BE HELD IN A SPACE OF 300 M2
MINIMUM.
12.
OTHER SPACE REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE OFFICES, FOYER OR VESTIBULE,
KITCHEN, RECEPTION, STORAGE, ETC. THIS SPACE IS IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIREMENTS
IN 10 ABOVE.
13.
SANITARY PROVISION: THIS DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF THE CONGREGATION.
THERE ARE TABLES IN THE NATIONAL BUILDING REGULATIONS SABS 0400 CONTROLLING
THE MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR TOILET PROVISION FOR THE SIZE OF THE
‘POPULATION’ ON USING THE BUILDINGS ON THE SITE.
14.
FIRE REQUIREMENTS: IN TERMS OF HEALTH AND SAFETY, THE FIRE REGULATIONS ARE CRUCIAL
AND SHOULD NEVER BE SHORT CIRCUITED OR IGNORED. ESCAPE ROUTES, STAIRCASES, POSITION OF
WINDOWS, ETC. ARE A FEW OF THE NON-NEGOTIABLE LAWS CONTAINED IN THE NATIONAL BUILDING
REGULATION SABS 0400.
15.
APPLICATION FOR TOWN PLANNING PERMISSION: THIS MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE ANY
BUILDING PLANS CAN BE APPROVED. NOTE THAT THIS MAY TAKE MANY MONTHS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE
OBJECTORS TO THE APPLICATION. DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD, THE ACTIVITY FOR WHICH
APPLICATION IS BEING MADE MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED ON THE SITE.
NOTE ALSO THAT ANYONE IS ENTITLED TO BE AN OBJECTOR, EVEN IF THEY LIVE IN ANOTHER TOWN OR ARE
A DOMESTIC WORKER. EVEN IF THERE IS ONLY ONE OBJECTOR, THE APPLICATION WILL HAVE TO BE HEARD
AT A PLANNING COMMITTEE HEARING OR ‘TOWN PLANNING TRIBUNAL.’
THE DECISION GIVEN BY THE PLANNING COMMITTEE MAY BE APPEALED AGAINST IN A TOWNSHIPS BOARD
HEARING. THIS COULD DELAY THE APPLICATION UP TO 2 YEARS DURING WHICH THE COUNCIL HAS THE
RIGHT TO STOP ALL BUILDING ACTIVITY OR USE OF THE SITE FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN THAT
ALREADY GRANTED FOR THE ZONING AND/OR FOR THE EXISTING BUILDINGS.
