Planning Policy and Projects

Local Development Framework

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), and the Supplementary Planning Guidance (2006).

We also have a number of Area Based Strategies which identify local needs and set out how the Council, the local community and other key agencies can work in partnership to identify and solve problems in the area, a LA21 (Local Agenda 21) Sustainable Development Action Plan and other planning Projects.

The Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is currently a key document in the LDF and is the Council's statutory plan relating to the development and use of land and buildings for the whole borough. The plan contains a set of policies on housing, jobs, leisure, transport education and health and these policies are used to help decide whether to allow or refuse planning applications. For further information and a full copy of the UDP please read out Unitary Development Plan webpage.

Consultation

An important part of developing any policy document is the process of consultation. Our Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) gives more detail on how we hold planning policy consultation. As we regularly carry out public consultation on drafts of our documents, we will soon have a web-based system to help people make comments on these drafts.

Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)

We recently finished consulting on our draft Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). Which provides detailed guidance for new housing developments. The closing date for receiving comments was 29 May 2008. More information and results of the consultation will be made available on the Housing SPD webpage.

Core Strategy Issues and Options

The first stage in the development of the Core Strategy planning policy document was out for consultation in February and March 2008. This consultation is now closed. Further details on the next stages of developing the document and reporting back on your responses please go to the Core Strategy web page.

Draft Open Space and Recreation Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)

We consulted on our Draft Open Space and Recreational Standards Supplementary Planning Document between the 29 November 2007 and the 17 January 2008. The period of consultation was lengthened to take into account the Christmas and New Year break. This consultation has now closed and we will be reporting the results in the near future.

North London Waste Plan: Issues and Options

The Issues and Options consultation is the first stage of a programme of consultation to develop the North London Waste Plan (NLWP), a joint plan being produced by Haringey, Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest. The Plan will identify sites for the wide range of waste facilities needed to manage the waste produced in North London. Details are available on the North London Waste Plan web page.
