House Extensions in South Tottenham
This Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) promotes good design for roof extensions to houses in the South Tottenham area, to ensure both adequate growing space and the architectural unity and overall character of the street. Three options are available as good and well designed models for roof extensions in the area.
This SPD was adopted on 17 October 2010 and can be downloaded from the attached files section below. Copies of the SPDs together with supporting information including this adoption statement and consultation report continue to be available to view at the locations listed in the Adoption Statement (such as local libraries).
Defined Area
The policies contained in this SPD only apply in South Tottenham, defined as an area bounded by Crowland Road to the north, Markfield Recreation Ground and the River Lee to the east, Craven Park Road to the south and Tottenham High Road to the west, excluding the Conservation Area, as the map below shows. A higher resolution version of the map can be downloaded from the Attached Files section.
Other related policies
Key planning policies for all of Haringey and covering all general issues can be found in our Unitary Development Plan (UDP), adopted 2006 and saved in July 2009. This will be eventually replaced by the Local Development Framework, which this SPD will form a part.
The policies contained in this SPD only apply to single family dwellings. Further policies on extensions and alterations to dwellings, covering the whole borough, can be found in our Supplementary Planning Guidance Documents (SPGs) particularly SPG1a, Design Guidance (adopted 2006). Policies on new housing and conversion of houses to flats can be found in our Housing SPD (adopted October 2008).
Consultation
An initial informal consultation on the proposed supplementary planning guidance specific to house extensions in the South Tottenham area took place in December 2009 and January 2010. It was then approved by Cabinet for adoption as informal guidance and formal consultation prior to adoption as a Supplementary Planning Document later in the year. The formal consultation took place from 14 June 2010 until 30 July 2010. The report on the results of both those consultations are available here.
A number of minor amendments were made to the SPD following the consultation, as described in the Consultation Report. It was then approved by the Cabinet on 8 October and is therefore adopted. The document now defines permissible decisions for extensions in the area. However each planning application will still be dealt with on a case-by-case basis considering appearance of the house itself, impact on adjoining houses either side, architectural unity and overall character of the street.
Further details can be found in the House Extensions in South Tottenham SPD itself, which can be downloaded from the attached files section below.
