City, residents unite on plan for Kensington, Factreton challenges

The City is inviting residents to participate in the crafting of an LSDF for Kensington and Factreton along the Voortrekker Road corridor in which stakeholders are invited to submit comments on the draft contextual framework that will form the foundation of the spatial vision.

According to the City, an LSDF determines the development vision for an area on a local level. Once approved by the council, the City uses the LSDF for guidance when making decisions about development applications and land use and it will assist in determining how a neighbourhood will function, look and feel a few years down the line.
