Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

Current Supplementary Planning Documents

The Local Plan alongside the London Plan are the key planning documents for Haringey. Much of the detail to support Local Plan policies is contained in accompanying documents called Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs).

Supplementary planning documents expand on the council's adopted policies to provide more detailed information than can be contained in the policies themselves. They give guidance to the public, applicants and developers when making planning applications.

For more information on Haringey's SPDs, please use the following links:

  • Planning Obligations
  • Sustainable Design and Construction
  • House Extensions in South Tottenham
  • Finsbury Park Town Centre

The council also issues Supplementary Planning Guidance notes where these can usefully aid developers undertaking work in certain parts of the borough where there may be specific planning issues to consider. These guidance notes may form the basis for future SPD's.

  • Haringey Heartlands Development Framework

For development within conservation areas, the council has published Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans, which give further guidance on specific conservation areas, and should be referred to for relevant proposals.

The Finsbury Park Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was adopted on 25 June 2014. The aim of the SPD is to improve the town centre, the station and the surrounding public spaces, create new homes, jobs and training opportunities, make the most of the historic buildings and improve links between the town centre and Finsbury Park. It supports the implementation of Haringey’s Local Plan Strategic Policies, policy CS2 of Islington Council’s Core Strategy and key strategic policies of Hackney Council’s Core Strategy.

The document applies to areas of Finsbury Park that lie within the boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney, and includes the areas around Finsbury Park Station and the main high streets of Seven Sisters Road, Stroud Green Road, Blackstock Road and Fonthill Road.

The SPD was prepared in partnership with Islington and Hackney Councils. The final decision to adopt the SPD was made by each council’s Executive or Cabinet.
