Unitary Development Plan (UDP)

What is the UDP?

The UDP (Unitary Development Plan) is the Haringey Council statutory plan relating to the development and use of land and buildings for the whole borough. The plan contains a set of policies on housing, jobs, leisure, transport education and health and these policies are used to help decide whether to allow or refuse planning applications. The UDP is made up of two parts:

The Written Statement, containing policies with explanation for their purpose and arranged in topic chapters. This document can be downloaded from the View the UDP section.
The Proposals Map, identifying specific designations, for example Metropolitan Open Land and Conservation Areas and also those sites where specific uses are sought.

The UDP was adopted by the Council on 17 July 2006. A notice of adoption is available to download in the attached files section below.

The UDP policies and proposals are saved for at least three years, but are being replaced by the Council’s Local Development Framework.

UDP Process

The UDP review commenced in 2002. The draft plan has been subject to two public consultation stages in September 2003 and September 2004. A total of 2,650 representations were submitted. A public inquiry ran from April to September 2005, where an Inspector dealt with outstanding objections to the draft plan. 392 objections were heard at the inquiry.

In January 2006, the Council received the Inspector’s report. The Inspector considered all objections received during the two public consultation stages, the Council’s responses to objections and further verbal and written statements submitted during the inquiry. His report responds to each objection and makes recommendations for the Council to consider. A large number of recommendations endorse changes made by the Council in the revised deposit UDP in 2004. However, the Inspector also recommends further changes to the UDP, known as modifications.

The Council responded to representations submitted during the public consultation stage on the proposed modifications. On 13 June 2006, the Council’s Executive approved responses to the representations and agreed that no further modifications were necessary. The responses are contained within a Statement of Decisions and Reasons which is available to download from the attached files section below.
