Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
Current Supplementary Planning Documents
The Unitary Development Plan (UDP) was adopted in 2006 and will remain the key planning document for Haringey.until its policies are replaced by those in the Local Plan. Much of the detail to support both UDP and Local Plan policies is contained in accompanying documents called Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). These set out planning policies on topics for the whole borough or specific areas. The Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) documents are also a material consideration for development control purposes.
Borough wide Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) include the Housing SPD, Open Space and Recreational Standards SPD and the draft Sustainable Design and Construction SPD.
Area specific SPDs include the Tottenham Hale Urban Centre Masterplan, Haringey Heartlands Development Framework, Lawrence Road Planning Brief, Wood Green Town Centre SPD, South Tottenham House Extensions SPD and the Myddleton Road Local Shopping Centre Policy Guidance Note.
Supplementary Planning Guidance Notes 2006, which accompany the Unitary Development Plan, can be downloaded in PDF format from the Supplementary Planning Guidance page. These do not form part of the UDP and are not required to follow the same process as the UDP. Planning Policy Guidance 12 stipulates that SPGs should be prepared in consultation with the general public, businesses, and other interested parties and their views should be taken into account before it is finalised. It is then the subject of a council resolution to adopt it as supplementary guidance.

|Back to topTottenham Hale Urban Centre Masterplan SPD
The main purpose of a masterplan is to improve the efficiency of the planning system and development process, as well as improving the quality of any new development. A masterplan establishes a framework that will be used to assess any future planning applications, and provides advice on the nature of acceptable development, potential uses and design issues.
The Urban Centre Masterplan is a strategic guide that will help steer development in Tottenham Hale, paying particular regard to the area’s six key sites and various public realm initiatives. It provides a major opportunity to create a thriving, sustainable urban centre with a significant number of new homes, together with an integrated mix of employment, retail and leisure uses focused around an enhanced, fully accessible transport interchange.
On 31 October 2006, Haringey Council’s Executive adopted the Tottenham Hale Urban Centre Masterplan as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The Masterplan (SPD) will supplement the policies contained within the Adopted Unitary Development Plan (2006) - in particular Policy AC2, as well as the Mayor’s London Plan and other relevant supplementary planning guidance notes. The Masterplan will be a material planning consideration and afforded significant weight when used to determine planning applications for the area.

On 1 October 2007, Haringey Council’s Cabinet formally adopted the Lawrence Road Planning Brief as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The SPD will supplement the policies contained within the Haringey Unitary Development Plan (2006) and the Mayor’s London Plan (2004).
