6.1. Amberfield Manor Estate is first and foremost a residential estate. In the interests of protecting its residents from the nuisance or aggravating factors usually accompanying such business activities, anyone wishing to operate a business from their residential premises shall apply to the Management for permission to do so, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. Management shall consider the rights applied for, against the impact on the other residents’ interests, and can grant permission, subject to applicable conditions, with the aim to protect its residents from any potential nuisance. The applicant may execute the right to operate the business activities applied for, for as long as he complies with the set conditions, instructions, directions or rulings made by the Management.
6.2. The Tshwane Town Planning Scheme, 2008, as authorised by the Town Planning and Townships Ordinance, 1986, remain supreme in determining zoning rights.

Any property Owner who allows the non-compliance of a municipal bylaw, or is guilty of a Town Planning Scheme contravention, may be held liable in terms of such Municipal Bylaw, or Town Planning Scheme.
