Overstrand Municipality confirmed that it has not yet received an application for the proposed retirement development.
As we noted in the February update: the advert promotes “Medical care services provided by Medicentre”, yet until any medical facilities are developed offsite, these “services” are only likely to be a nurse-based in the onsite clubhouse.
Considering that:
- no application has been submitted
- nor have any of the approval processes required as part of that application
- that the “medical care services” are advertised prematurely
- and deposits are requested,
this advert raises concern about the legitimacy of what it promotes and of deposits being taken now. The BBC is monitoring this development.
