Good morning
Haringey's Cabinet has put the borough's next planning rulebook on course for public consultation, and this week's travel notices are mostly yesterday's bridge strike and resurfacing. The weekend is busy at Hornsey Town Hall.
The big story
Haringey Local Plan heads towards public consultation
Haringey's Cabinet on 10 November recommended that Full Council approve the Proposed Submission Local Plan for publication, followed by a consultation of at least six weeks. The plan covers 2027 to 2042 and replaces the one adopted in 2017, so it will guide building in Crouch End, Hornsey and Stroud Green for the next 15 years. After consultation it goes to the Secretary of State for independent examination, and Full Council then decides whether to adopt it. This is the point at which residents can still change what it says. READ →
