Haringey's Local Plan: Strategic Policies Examination

Haringey's Local Plan: Strategic Policies (formerly Core Strategy)

In recognition of the Government’s newly published NPPF, the Council have decided to rename its submitted Core Strategy as the Haringey Local Plan: Strategic Policies.

Consultation on the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 27 April 2012-13 June 2012

The Government has recently published the National Planning Policy Framework (external link) (NPPF); which came into effect on 27th March 2012 and the Planning Policy for Traveller Sites (external link); which came into effect on 25 March 2012. These documents replace a range of previous national policy advice and guidance (for example Planning Policy Statements).

The Council wishes to provide an opportunity to make representations on the matters raised in these documents in so far as they potentially affect Haringey’s Local Plan: Strategic Policies (formerly Core Strategy). The Council has produced a Topic Paper (LBH; PDF; 88KB), including Appendix 1 (Schedule of Modifications [LBH; PDF; 57KB] please note in order to view this spreadsheet you may need to increase the size) and Appendix 2 (the Planning Advisory Service NPPF checklist [LBH; PDF; 276KB]) . The paper outlines the way in which the Council considers the NPPF may affect the content of Haringey’s Local Plan: Strategic Policies. The six week consultation period provides an opportunity to comment on this document as well.

Final responses should be received by 5pm on 13 June 2012. The Council will consider all relevant responses received. The outcome of the consultation will be provided to the examining Inspector. It is the Council's understanding that the Inspector intends to deal with submissions that arise in their written form, however, and in the interests of efficiency, a provisional date of 27 June has been reserved should the Inspector consider it necessary for a further public hearing session on matters relating to the implications arising out of the two new documents to Haringey’s Local Plan: Strategic Policies.

Please note that Haringey's Local Plan: Strategic Policies (LBH, PDF, 1MB) has been through a number of modifications since its submission in March 2011 and the following public hearing sessions. Please refer to this document when you are making your representations. The originally submitted documents can be viewed on the Core Strategy Submission page.

All documents are also available to view at River Park House (6th Floor), Wood Green, N22 8HQ, the Civic Centre, High Road, Wood Green, N22 8LE and local libraries.

Representations should be made by email to ldf@haringey.gov.uk or in writing to LDF Team, London Borough of Haringey, River Park House (6th Floor), Wood Green, N22 8HQ.

Prior to the hearing on 22 February 2012, an update to the Council's Employment Land Study (2012) was produced (document reference number LBH-14a) as evidence in relation to the Council's position, but it has not altered the content of Haringey's Local plan; Strategic Policies further. The Inspector wanted to ensure that an opportunity was given to read and respond to this update if necessary. Consequently, a consultation was carried out from 24 February to 9 March 2012.

The Council also produced a database, which provides a summary of each representation and the Council's response, which can also be viewed on the 'Updated Employment Land Study Representations' page.
