SPECIALIST EVALUATION To inform the Basic Assessment Report, an Aquatic Assessment, Ecological Assessment, Geotechnical Assessment, Heritage Impact Assessment, Traffic Impact Assessment and Wetland Delineation and Functional Assessment have been undertaken; the key findings of which are summarised below. The
full specialist reports will be made available for public comment as part of the Basic Assessment
Report. Aquatic Assessment: Amanzi Aquatics (Pty) Ltd undertook an Aquatic Assessment for the proposed development. The overall habitat integrities, on the Aller River are classed as Largely Modified (Category D), and on the uMngeni River are classed as Moderately Modified (Category C), respectively. The sites are surrounded and impacted on by urbanisation. The riparian habitats consist of increased alien vegetation with some endemic vegetation present. The current impacts on these rivers include flow-, bed- and channel modifications due to foot paths, road crossings, gabions, bridges etc. Water quality deteriorations are likely due to rubbish dumping and surface runoff as well as sewage from informal settlements and discharges from upstream WWTWs. The overall water quality of the Aller River is Bad, while the water in the uMngeni River is Poor. Ecological Assessment: An Ecological Impact Assessment was undertaken by Leigh-Ann de Wet for the proposed development. Much of the site falls within an Irreplaceable Critical Biodiversity Area, as well as eThekwini’s D’MOSS area and the full site was classified as a Critically Endangered Ecosystem. Vegetation within the study site is a mix of bushveld and forest. Grasslands comprise of isolated or clumped shrubs and small trees. Forests occur within the drainage line and alongside the river. Areas of the site are disturbed due to anthropogenic impacts which include the creation of paths for use as a short cut through the valley, areas used as a dump site and areas of vegetation that are dominated by alien invasive species. Some areas have been used for cultivation of crops and areas beneath pylons are heavily invaded. The majority of the site is comprised of indigenous vegetation. Two Species of Special Concern were confirmed for the site - the protected tree Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra and Aloe sp. Geotechnical Assessment: Geosure (Pty) Ltd undertook a Geotechnical Assessment was undertaken to be underlain by weathered sandstone bedrock of the Natal Group. The sandstone bedrock is overlain by residual sandstone soils, colluvium and occasional fill. Groundwater seepage was not observed during the field investigation. Given the relatively elevated nature of the site, the development of a persistent shallow groundwater activity is assessed to be low generally. However, an intermittent shallow perched groundwater condition may occur during and after periods of sustained and/or heavy rainfall, particularly in areas of deeper bedrock and along the central and north-eastern slopes of concave conformation. Based on the results of the fieldwork undertaken during the investigation, the site is considered suitable for the proposed development, provided recommendations given in the report are adhered to. Heritage Impact Assessment: The Heritage Impact Assessment was undertaken by Umlando: Archaeological Surveys and Heritage Management for the proposed development. No heritage sites were noted during the investigation, and no further heritage mitigation was thus required.

Traffic Impact Assessment: A Traffic Impact Assessment was undertaken by Arup for the proposed development. Based on the recommended rates the proposed residential development is expected to generate a total of 386 trips during the AM and PM peak hours respectively. Intersection analyses for the “Existing 2020” and “Future 2025” background traffic scenarios indicate that some road upgrades are required to adequately accommodate the current traffic. Wetland Delineation and Functional Assessment: Parisara Consulting T/A Aeon Nexus undertook the Wetland Delineation and Functional Assessment for the proposed development. There are no wetlands on site, however, there is one wetland that occurs within the Department of Water and Sanitation regulated 500m buffer. Additionally, one river riparian system is located on the northern boundary of the site. The single wetland found within the surrounding 500m buffer was assessed not to be at risk.

Attention: Ms. Natasha Brijlal
Subject: Public Participation Plan for the Regent Estate Development
Dear Natasha
Wallace and Green has been appointed to undertake the Basic Assessment Process for the Regent Estate Development,
which is located on REM of Portion 1, 2, 8 and 9 of Erf 764 Westville. The total extent of the site is approximately 7.6ha
and is located in Ward 92 of the eThekwini Metropolitan. The residential development will entail the construction of
two-bedroom units, internal roads, a low volume on site package plant as well as water, sewer and stormwater
infrastructure.
As per the Directions issued by the Minster of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment, stipulated in Government Notice
No.650, dated 05th June 2020, new and pending applications for Environmental Authorisation where a Public
Participation Process (PPP) as contemplated in Chapter 6 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (as
amended), is required, a Public Participation Plan needs to be compiled by the Environmental Assessment Practitioner
and approved by the Competent Authority. This document makes reference to the Public Participation Plan for the
Regent Estate Development.
Written Notices and Background Information Document (BID)
A Background Information Document and notification with an invitation to register as an I&AP were distributed as
follows:
• Emailed to relevant stakeholders and identified IAPs on the 7th August 2020;
• Hand delivered to adjacent properties on the 7th August 2020.
• Contacted the Councillor of Ward 92, Ms Jabu Alice Dlamini who indicated that she would also disseminate the
BID/Information on the project.
In addition to distributing BIDs, the following was undertaken to identify I&APs:
• Posted on WhatsApp, Facebook and Westville community Facebook pages/groups on the 6th August 2020 -
Requested feedback from individuals that live in the Athol Heights vicinity or knows of anyone that resides in
the area, aware of a neighbourhood watch or a social media group for the residents in the area.
• Contacted Nkosi Security’s Head Office (Neighbourhood Watch) to determine if there is any community
WhatsApp Groups for the Athol Heights area.
Public Notices/Site Notices
Site notes were displayed on the 6th August 2020 at the Site, entrance to Scone Place and Caltex Athol Heights Service
Station.
Advertisements
An advert was placed in The Mercury for the 12th August 2020, which provides information on the project scope of works,
location, dates for the review of the draft Basic Assessment Report, details of EAP as well as requested for potential
I&APs to register themselves in order to get further information on the project and the EIA process.
Draft Basic Assessment Report Review
The Draft Basic Assessment Report inclusive of specialist reports and Environmental Management Programme (EMPr),
will go out for public comment from the 14th August – 16th September 2020. Due to the COVID – 19 pandemic, the
documents will be available on the Wallace and Green’s website: www.wallaceandgreen.co.za or can be made available
electronically upon request to I&APs. All stakeholders were contacted on the 11th August 2020 to confirm requirements
in terms of safety regulations and the distribution for the review and comment of the DBAR.
The draft Basic Assessment Report, will be distributed for comment prior to an application for environmental
authorisation being submitted to the competent authority, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Affairs, Tourism
and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA). This is in keeping with Regulation 40(3) of the EIA Regulations, 2014 which provides
that “Potential or registered interested and affected parties, including the competent authority, may be provided with an
opportunity to comment on reports and plans contemplated in subregulation (1) prior to submission of an application but
must be provided with an opportunity to comment on such reports once an application has been submitted to the
competent authority.”
Once the public commenting period has ended, all comments/concerns will be addressed and responded too. These
comments will be included into the Final BAR which will be submitted to EDTEA for assessment and decision, subsequent
to submitting the Application Form for Environmental Authorisation to EDTEA. All final reports will also be made available
to registered I&AP’s once an application has been submitted to the competent authority.
Issues Trail
An Issues Trial, which summarises the objections and comments from the PPP will be provided in the Final Basic
Assessment Report.
Ongoing I&AP / Stakeholder communication
The project team will have ongoing communication with I&AP’s to ensure the continued involvement of all stakeholders
and I&AP throughout the EIA process.
I trust that EDTEA finds this Public Participation Plan in order.
Yours faithfully
Wallace and Green (Pty) Ltd
