Baardskeerdersbos, located in the Overstrand Municipal Area between Gansbaai, Stanford and Elim, is contained on the southern slopes of Perdekop, part of the Kouberge. The eastern foothills of Perdekop are home to the Boskloof River, a tributary of the Boesmans River. The Boesmans River forms the southern edge of Baardskeerdersbos running in an east-west direction.

  • The Brief

CK Rumboll and Partners - Planning (CKR), OvP Landscape Architects, Martin KrugerArchitects&UrbanDesignersandinassociationwithSallyTitlestad&Bridget O’Donoghue Heritage Practitioners have been appointed by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (RDLR) to draft a precinct plan for the whole of Baardskeerdersbos rural settlement situated in the Overstrand Municipality.

The Baardskeerdersbos precinct plan has to focus on cultural and heritage conservation, landscaping and urban design, balancing future residential and economic development with the preservation of the rural, agricultural and natural landscape and open space systems. The precinct plan directs the conservation of the rural hinterland and agricultural settlement character while addressing the increased pressure to develop that may arise from the Gansbaai/ Elim Road (R317) upgrade by means of proposals and guidelines.

The Overstrand, part of the larger Overberg region of the Western Cape, is an area

of great landscape significance. Geological formations and topography including landforms are two informants that determine landscape significance.

SOURCE OF INFORMATION: NGI

The Baardskeerdersbos Precinct Plan enhances sustainable development within Baardskeerdersbos balancing the 3 areas of sustainability i.e.

Thegeologicalformationscausedbythejuxtapositionofruggedsandstonemountain ranges with coastlines and estuaries, while much of it in a pristine state, constitute three broad landscape types i.e. coastal, hillside and mountain landscapes. Of particular importance for Baardskeerdersbos is the Riviersonderend and Palmiet Mountains and Koueberg cluster landscape features representing the topography, landforms and scenic resources.

Hence the precinct plan aims to align sustainable land use and associated infrastructure with the needs of the Baardskeerdersbos community.

Land use patterns, the third informant of landscape significance, can be classified

as rural farm land, protected and natural area and settlements:
The precinct plan therefore integrates the social and cultural, natural and economic environments providing for residential, educational, nature – and heritage (aesthetic) conservation business, infrastructure and transport needs. Social, heritage, infrastructure and natural informants of the area are used to guide the retention and conservation of necessary elements while encouraging appropriate forms of development.

Rural farmland reflects the historical evolution of agricultural land use through its recognisable, fine agricultural patterning which contributes to the particular

character and ambience of the Overstrand hinterland.

Protected areas include Pearly Beach, Soetfontein, Quoin Point nature reserves and Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve which have regional and national

significance. The ecological value of endemic fynbos vegetation types has led

to the formation of these nature reserves
The Baardskeerdersbos Precinct Plan has eight phases, as follows:

The historical settlement pattern of coastal towns, country villages, resorts and

small fishing harbours have resulted in attractive living environments, many

of which are being eroded by unsympathetic infrastructure development and suburban sprawl1.
Administratively, the precinct plan facilitates the implementation of the IDP and SDF objectives and the alignment thereof with the objectives of the three spheres of government.

This significance of the landscape creates and attracts substantial tourism, and

therefore economic value for the region.

Geological formations, topographical and landforms informants at a local level are as follows:

  • 3.
  • Historical Overview

The area has strong historical links to the trans-human movement patterns of Khoi and San across the Western Cape. The abundance of water and good grazing in the valley would have made it a good place for temporary Khoi stock settlements prior to and moving into the period of colonial settlement.
Baardskeerdersbos is located along the slopes of Perdekop which is part of the Kouberge. Two rivers shape the topography and landform i.e. the Boskloof River, a tributary of the Boesmans River on the eastern foothills of Perdekop and the Boesmans River, forming the southern edge of Baardskeerdersbos running in an east-west direction.
In the early 18th century a number of loan farms were granted to wealthy and

influential Cape families, who extended their farmlands, linking properties

together3. ‘Baardskeerdersbos was originally granted as a loan farm to Jan Cloete, a heemraad of Drakenstein, between 1725 and 1730 but was not linked

to other farms, changed hands several times and was probably first permanently

occupied by Philip Fourie and his descendants from 1778’4. A High Court order in 1965 vested ownership after numerous undivided shares were granted in Farm Baardscheerders Bosch No 107. This action initiated the current form of Baardskeerdersbos.
The land use within the hamlet is rural. Hence Baardskeerdersbos maintains visual and environmental harmony with the surrounding farming and cultural landscape.

Baardskeerdersbos has high landscape significance as it relates strongly to its

local neighbouring settlements and its regional surroundings.

  • 2.2
  • Role

The natural resources available in the area would have informed the location of the dwellings marked on an 1831 quitrent survey. These are no longer extant but would have informed the location of the current settlement, populated by the descendants of Fourie’ sons and sons-in-law in the nineteenth century. Unlike many drosdty towns, the layout of Baardskeerdersbos demonstrates the organic nature of its development as a series of family smallholdings during the 19th century and into the 20th century. The urban form of the village is characterised by cottages lost in the middle of large erven, relative absence of hard boundary treatments such as high walls, variable plot sizes and orientations, and stands of poplar and gum trees5.

3/214

The character of Baardskeerdersbos is that of a hamlet - a small village or group of houses whilst for those passing by on the R317, it may be considered as a gateway to the coast or to the countryside. The Baardskeerdersbos and Elim area has a strong historical relationship to the

movement of Khoi and San from inland grazing sites to coastal fishing, pigment, cobble and shellfish collection activities, and later activities such as the retrieval of shipwrecked goods in the colonial period, shellfish gathering, fishing, guano

collection and recreational activities2.

Baardskeerdersbos is the result of the expansion of a modest family settlement on a VOC loan farm that depended on subsistence farming and the exploitation of coastal resources to a hamlet.

It not only has historical significance but has also architectural significance as a late

19th and early 20th century farming settlement, with much of its modest vernacular architecture intact. Also intact is the organic layout of the original farm settlement.

There is a furrow ‘leiwater’ system, probably dating back to the 19th century, using water that comes from the spring in the kloof above Baardskeerdersbos, and which remains in use today6. These water resources are now under pressure from the expansion of the settlement during the 20th century7.

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF A BORROW PIT ON SOETMELKSVLEI 150, GREYTON AREA, OVERBERG DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, WESTERN CAPE (Assessment conducted under Section 38 (8) of the National Heritage Resources Act as part of a Heritage Impact Assessment) Prepared for: Vidamemoria Heritage Consultants Att: Ms Quahnita Samie E-mail: [email protected] On behalf of: Nadeson Consulting Services Prepared by: Madelon Tusenius Natura Viva cc PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010 Phone: (021) 462 3622 E-mail: [email protected] OCTOBER 2012 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natura Viva cc was appointed by Vidamemoria Heritage Consultants on behalf of Nadeson Consulting Services to undertake an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) for the proposed extension of an existing borrow pit DR1303/16.50/R/1250 (Vidamemoria pit no. 179) between Greyton and Riviersonderend in the Overberg District Municipality. Material excavated from the proposed pit extension will be used for the maintenance of the DR1303. No new roads will have to be constructed as access to the quarry site will be via existing roads and tracks. Special erosion measures will have to be implemented during rehabilitation of the site after quarrying activities have ceased. This study forms part of the Heritage Impact Assessment triggered by the development. The brief for the study was a field visit and short report identifying and assessing archaeological resources and any impact on them, an assessment of significance and recommendations regarding any mitigation required. The field assessment was conducted on foot on 17 September 2012. Archaeological visibility was good on the sparsely-vegetated steep slopes of the hill which forms the major part of the proposed extension.

An application to develop 1850 housing units on the 110 ha property was first made in 2006. An Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) of the proposed development was undertaken by ACRM at the time, in which 13 archaeological sites, including scatters of marine shellfish, ostrich eggshell, stone flakes and pottery were documented. The footprint area for the proposed development has now been substantially reduced to 36.6 ha, while the number of housing opportunities has been scaled down to 472 units. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed development was completed in 2010, with the submission of outstanding information on the final Environmental Impact Report submitted to the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEADP) in March 2012. Authorization for a reduced development footprint was subsequently approved by DEADP in July 2012.
