Alterations to Haringey’s Local Plan: Strategic Policies
The Council adopted alterations to the Local Plan: Strategic Policies in July 2017, alongside adopting a new Development Management DPD, Site Allocations DPD and Tottenham AAP. We consulted on the draft Proposed Alterations to Haringey’s Adopted Strategic Policies (PDF, 2MB) from Monday 9 February to Friday 27 March. Details of the consultation and next steps can be found on the Development of the Strategic Policies (alterations) 2017 page.
Targets set by the Government and the Mayor of London, for things like new housing and employment levels in Haringey, have changed in response to predicted for population growth and an increase in housing and job demand.
Our changes to the council’s Strategic Policies are largely factual and reflect how the population levels of Haringey have changed in the past two years, including:
- A target of nearly 20,000 modern, high-quality new homes built by 2026, with a focus on regeneration areas in Tottenham and Wood Green
- A target to increase employment levels in Haringey by 29% during the next 20 years
- A strategy for improving Haringey’s housing estates where simple refurbishment through the Decent Homes programme is not possible
Having the right strategic policies in place is important to make sure that new developments are carefully managed, based on clear evidence. We have undertaken research to inform these policy documents. This research is in the form of reports and form what is called the evidence base. See the Evidence Base page to view the reports.
