Sound developments, loyalty and integrity are a fundamental part of  the practice.

The subdivision of a single property, whether residential commercial or agricultural, is an example of the scope of the work the company can assist with. It is important to optimize the potential of each property through creative and innovative planning and design. Plan Active also engages in compilation of zoning schemes, density studies and town planning research.

It is imperative to view spatial development in the context of economical upliftment and empowerment, while being particularly sensitive to the natural environment and endangered resources. The layout of low income and GAP housing developments is part of local development and the company often engages in the latter.

Plan Active is also  well positioned to offer their service and expertise  with agricultural developments including wine cellars, abattoirs, guest farms, additional dwellings and agricultural industries. The Western Cape is prime location for agri-tourism and resort facilities and Plan Active has successfully applied for various such developments in the Overstrand,  the Breede River and Cape Agulhas regions. Successful projects can be viewed.
