I doubt eviction is required or reasonable. Maybe offer council to pay estimated rates on this part of the erven, but then your rates on remaining rates must come down too. Should not change much other than a second refuse charge maybe and a higher municipal value fro combined 2 erven as instead of one. I am guessing here. Ask a property lawyer or simply ask council for the legal grounds of their demand - in writing. Then you can still see a lawyer.
