Haringey's Cabinet agreed on 10 November to recommend that the new Local Plan go out for public consultation of at least six weeks. The plan would replace the one adopted in 2017 and set the rules for what can be built in Crouch End, Hornsey and Stroud Green, along with the rest of the borough.
After the consultation, the plan goes to the government for independent examination, and Full Council then decides whether to adopt it.
This is the document planning officers and objectors will quote for years, and the six-week window is the cheapest moment to change it. Residents who care about the Broadway, Hornsey Town Hall or the height of the next development should read the local detail when it appears.
