Pre-Application Planning Advice Services

What pre-application services do we offer?

From 6 May 2008 two formalised pre-application advice services were introduced in Haringey. The services are:

Please note:

Householder applications, applications for one residential unit and less than 100m2 of non-residential floor space will be exempt from the charging scheme. For more information on the services available for these types of application please see the advice for householder and small proposals section below.

Pre-application Planning Advice (PAPA)

As a borough we encourage pre-application discussions before applicants submit planning applications. These discussions can give both the applicant and the local authority greater clarity and reassurance about the application.

Having a formalised pre-application process for certain applications will provide a better service for our applicants and help to filter out speculative or poorly thought out proposals.

“Please note that the service offered does not include our officers either undertaking a site visit or attending a meeting with you. You will be contacted by the officer dealing with your query in exceptional cases where our officers consider it necessary either to gain access to the property or site or to meet you to discuss the proposal.”

The pre-application planning advice service leaflet provides more information and a detailed process map about how the service works, this leaflet is available in the attached files section below. More information about what you can expect from this service can also be found below.

Planning Performance Agreements (PPA)

In conjunction with changes to the way Haringey deals with pre-application planning advice we have also introduced Planning Performance Agreements in the borough.

Planning Performance Agreements (PPAs) are a more structured way of managing the application process of major developments. The agreements promote a partnership approach to major and strategic developments in Haringey so that a good working relationship is established between the developer and the council and joint priorities are worked on; resulting in the best development possible for the borough.

The Government sees Planning Performance Agreements as the way forward when it comes to dealing with major and strategic applications. Please see the external links section below for further information on Planning Performance Agreements from the Department for Communities and Local Government.

There is a wide range of advice on making planning applications available in this section of the website. In addition to this, for householders and applicants with proposals of less than two units, we can give advice on making an application as part of the duty planning officer advice service free of charge. This service is available at our offices on Level 6 of River Park House, Wood Green without appointment Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2pm - 4pm. Alternatively you can speak to a planning officer on phone between 2pm-5pm (Monday-Friday).
