Data corpus

The parcel-level data corpus behind every report, assembled, normalised and maintained by NIP.

1 Cadastral and title

Parcel geometry, erf and portion numbering, registered extent, and the conditions and servitudes recorded against the property.

2 Zoning and land use

Scheme designations, permitted use, and the development controls that apply to the parcel, taken from the authoritative municipal scheme record.

3 Spatial planning

Regional spatial development frameworks, node and corridor designations, and urban edge positions.

4 Environmental

Protected and sensitive features, watercourses and ridges, and the footprints of existing environmental authorisations.

5 Geotechnical

Dolomite stability zoning, investigation and borehole records, and founding conditions relevant to development and insurability.

6 Engineering and transport

Bulk service networks, capacity constraints and road reserve designations affecting the parcel.

7 Legal instruments

Statutes, regulations, scheme clauses and guidelines, held as a structured corpus so a finding can be tied to the instrument it rests on.

Notes

How NIP works

Capacity
NIP writes the risk reports and runs the land development applications those reports inform. The findings are shaped by what municipalities, professional teams and conveyancers actually require to approve and register.
Method
Every finding is traced to its source: the cadastral record, the scheme clause, the environmental authorisation, the geotechnical record. Where the source data does not support a finding, the report records the gap instead of estimating around it.
Frameworks
SPLUMANEMAWULASANS 1936Municipal land use schemes
Audience
Banks, insurers, developers and property practitioners making lending, underwriting and investment decisions.
