The Hout Bay Residents' Association and the Habitat Council today said the construction of a toll plaza on Chapman's Peak drive is unlawful and unauthorised.

Speaking on behalf of the group Advocate Jeremy Muller said provincial Transport MEC Robin Carlisle failed to get written permission from the national environmental affairs director general, as required by the Protected Areas Act.

The construction has caused uproar from residents especially in Hout Bay.

Hout Bay Residents' Association and the Habitat Council are now seeking an interdict to halt the construction of the plaza building.
