Beachfront Hotel Development Opposition

Issue: The proposed hotel development on the Camps Bay beachfront

Advocacy Focus: The case against the approval of the plans for the beachfront hotel was heard by Mrs Justice C Fortuin. The judgement was not in the CBCRA’s favour but the manner in which key legal principles were ignored by the Court has led to an appeal against the judgement. The CBCRA is awaiting the Court’s leave to appeal. If that is not forthcoming, the CBCRA will consider filing an appeal directly to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
The original proposal was opposed by most of the community of Camps Bay, as unsympathetic, overbulk and insensitive to the built fabric of the beachfront.
