House Extensions in South Tottenham

The Housing Extensions in South Tottenham Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) promotes good design for roof extensions to ensure property extensions, architectural unity and the overall character of the area is maintained. The SPD provides three models for good and well designed roof extensions in the area.

The SPD was adopted in 2010 and can be found, with other supporting documents, in the attached files section below.

A consultation is currently underway to consider how the SPD could be further improved.

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 SPD will form part of the Local Development Framework - which will eventually replace the UDP.

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).

The process that led to adoption of the SPD

Consultation on the proposed supplementary planning guidance specific to house extensions in the South Tottenham area took place in December 2009, January and July 2010. A number of minor amendments were made to the SPD following the consultation, as described in the Consultation Report in the attached files section below. The Supplementary Planning Document was 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. You can also download the Sustainability Appraisal, Equalities Impact Assessment, Consultation Report and Statement of Adoption in the attached files section.
