Members of the Plot and Plan Committee Belhar and residents have lodged more than 300 objections to the proposed sale and development of Erf 27661.

More than 300 objections have been filed against the City of Cape Town's proposal to sell and develop Erf 27661 in Belhar.

Residents are demanding that the land be designated for serviced residential plots instead of being allocated for an affordable housing project.

The objections were submitted during the public participation process related to the City's proposed disposal and development of the property, with tender submissions for the project set to close on May 18.

At the centre of the opposition is the Plot and Plan Committee Belhar, which argues that the land should remain in public hands and should be used to provide serviced sites to residents in need of housing opportunities.
