Overview

We are currently preparing a New Local Plan to provide a long-term vision for new buildings and development in Haringey.

A lot has changed since our existing Local Plan was adopted in 2017:

• changes to national planning policy and legislation
• the adoption of a new London Plan
• Haringey’s declaration of a climate emergency
• a growing focus on health and wellbeing of our communities 
• the revision of the Council’s strategic aspirations for Haringey

A New Local  Plan is a key opportunity to:

• help deliver the Council’s vision of what it wants for Haringey by 2035: a place where we can all belong and thrive
• deliver on the Haringey Deal– allowing residents, businesses and organisations to shape development and change in Haringey’s communities and neighbourhoods, and for us to hear the voices of those that are too often overlooked.
• provide an updated planning framework for the borough which is as effective as possible in achieving Haringey’s priorities and addressing the issues we face such as the climate emergency and the homelessness crisis
• prepare for exciting opportunities for Haringey such as being London Borough of Culture 2027 and helping host the UEFA Euro 2028 Men’s Football Tournament 

The New Local Plan will be a single, consolidated plan and fully replace the 4 documents that currently make up the adopted Local Plan:

• Strategic Policies Development Plan Document (2017)
• Development Management Development Plan Document (2017)
• Site Allocations Development Plan Document (2017)
• Tottenham Area Action Plan (2017)

Once adopted, the New Local Plan will be the key component of our Development Plan, alongside and supported by:

• the London Plan (2021)
• Neighbourhood Plans
• the North London Waste Plan (2022) (which sets out the planning framework for waste management in North London)
• any National Development Management Policies published by the Government

The timetable for our New Local Plan is contained with our Local Development Scheme.
