|back to topAbout the Planning Service
The Planning Service is responsible for controlling and promoting development in the borough in order to provide an attractive, efficient and sustainable environment.
The Planning Service is made up of 4 areas:
- Development Control and Technical Support Team
- Planning Policy
- Design and Conservation Team
- Strategic Sites
Development Control and Technical Support Team
Development control is a process, which regulates the development and use of land in the borough. It is a complex process governed by the law and involves:
- Consideration of planning applications
- Monitoring of development as it takes place
- Enforcement action where breaches of control have occurred
- Provision of information and advice about the system generally and individual proposals specifically
It provides a service to the local community and ensures that changes to our physical surroundings - buildings and land - are right for their purpose and location.
|back to topPlanning Policy
Planning policy and projects work to produce the local policies which, together with national and regional planning policies, are used to control and enhance development within Haringey. Haringey planning policies are made up of a portfolio of policy documents, under the umbrella of the Local Development Framework (LDF). The Local Development Scheme (LDS) is the project plan which sets out the work programme for developing the LDF. This includes the Unitary Development Plan (adopted in 2006), Supplementary Planning Guidance and other spatial planning documents.
|back to topDesign and Conservation Team
The Design and Conservation Team’s role is to enhance the architectural quality of the borough’s built and natural environment through the protection of its historic buildings and by encouraging high-quality new buildings and public space. The team work towards ensuring a well-designed, accessible and attractive built environment for all who live and work in Haringey.
|back to topStrategic Sites
The main priorities of the strategic Sites and Project group are to secure the physical regeneration of the borough’s key sites. Some of the mechanisms used to achieve include the following:
- Identify site constraints and opportunities for development.
- Prepare frameworks to encourage and guide sustainable development (eg master plans, planning briefs, regeneration strategies etc).
- Build partnerships with external agencies and the local community.
- Secure public and private sector funding (eg Growth Area Funds [GAF] and Section 106 contributions commuted from developers to secure planning permission).
- Facilitate and monitor GAF and Section 106 projects.
