Haringey's Local Plan: Strategic Policies Examination

Local Plan: Strategic Policies Agreed by Cabinet 12 February 2013

The Local Plan: Strategic Policies was agreed by Cabinet on 12 February 2013. It went to Full Council for adoption on 18 March 2013. The most up to date version of the Local Plan: Strategic Policies can be viewed in the document library - reference no. PE-27.

Inspector's Final Report Received 17 December 2012

The inspector's final report (this can be viewed in the document library - reference no. PE-30) was received on 17 December 2012. The Local Plan: Strategic Policies, which has been amended to reflect the changes highlighted in the report, was presented to Cabinet for adoption in February 2013.

Inspector's Fact Check Report Received 27 November 2012

The Inspector’s Report was submitted to the Planning Policy team on 27 November 2012 for a fact check. The Inspector allocated a period of two weeks for the council to check the report for any factual errors.

Consultation on the Inspector’s Main Modifications: Closed 12 October 2012

The council provided an opportunity for those who had previously made representations on Haringey’s Local Plan: Strategic Policies, to comment on the Inspector’s table of Main Modifications (ref number PE-28), submitted to the council on 22 August 2012. (All responses received can be found on the 'Representations Submitted for the Inspector's Main Modifications' page).

The table of Main Modifications comprises 58 modifications that the Inspector recommended to ensure the soundness of the Plan. The overwhelming majority of the modifications were proposed by the council and relate to matters of effectiveness, justification and consistency with national policy and the London Plan. They are predominantly drawn from the council’s consolidated schedule of post submission modifications (PE-26), except item number 28, which is a modification added by the Inspector, reflecting the content of the 2010 Core Strategy. In the interest of clarity, the Inspector sent a letter (ref number PE-29) to the council on 24 August 2012 summarising the reasoning for this modification.

The consultation was an opportunity to comment on the potential effects that arose from the list of Main Modifications. All the representations received were analysed and sent to the Inspector for his perusal. A spreadsheet containing a summary of all the comments (PDF, 831KB) and the council's response was sent to the inspector. As a result, the table of main modifications was slightly altered.

The Inspector’s table of Main Modifications (the first and amended version) and his letter dated 24 August 2012, summarising the reasoning for Modification 28, are available to view at 6th Floor, River Park House, 225 High Road, Wood Green, N22 8HQ, Civic Centre, Wood Green, N22 8LE, and all local libraries.

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

In recognition of the Government’s newly published NPPF, the council has renamed its submitted Core Strategy the Haringey Local Plan: Strategic Policies.

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

The Government published the National Planning Policy Framework (external link) (NPPF); which came into effect on 27 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 provided 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 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 provided an opportunity to comment on this document as well.

The council considered all relevant responses received. The outcome of the consultation was provided to the examining Inspector. To view all the responses submitted go to the 'Representations Submitted For the NPPF and Planning Policy for Travellers Sites' page.

A provisional date of 27th June was programmed in case a further hearing session was required. Having considered the content of all the resulting comments and the council's response, the Inspector decided that a further hearing into matters arising was not required.

Consultation upon the updated Employment Land Study (2012) - closed 9 March 2012

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 representations received as part of this consultation can be viewed on the 'Updated Employment Land Study Representations Received' page. 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.
