Key legal question
Whether the municipality must service the plaintiff’s parcel as part of the building zone infrastructure.
Extracted holding
Yes. The parcel lies in the predominantly built-up area and within the priority servicing area; the municipality must provide public servicing so the building application can be realized.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the parcel is at least roughly serviced, directly adjoins developed neighboring plots, and belongs to the predominantly built-up area under RPG standards. Because the municipality retained and intended to implement the existing servicing plan, it was in default and had to complete the public works.
