MONITORING & REVIEW |
| |
Making the plan happen |
|
|
| |
Introduction |
| 12.1 |
This plan has set out all the policies
and proposals to guide development in Haringey over the next 10 years.
The Council needs to make sure that these are implemented so that
its vision and priorities for the future can be delivered. This can
be done through: |
| |
- Using planning conditions and planning agreements to regulate
development and secure benefits for the local community.
- Preparing development briefs/frameworks for specific sites or
areas of the borough to set out exactly what type, volume and
mix of development would be suitable for that site. (i.e. single
streets, housing estates or town centres)
- Preparing supplementary planning guidance/action plans on specific
topics (i.e. affordable housing) or neighbourhoods in the borough
in order to provide more specific guidance.
- Taking effective enforcement action against unlawful development.
- Investment from government regeneration schemes such as Neighbourhood
Renewal Fund, New Deal for Communities and Single Regeneration
Budget.
|
| 12.2 |
The Plan contains site specific
proposals for sites which are known to have development potential.
These sites are listed in Schedule 1. |
| 12.3 |
When implementing the plan there are various principles the Council
has to consider: |
| |
Precautionary Principle - this means that if we
are not sure of the outcome of a decision we may make, if it will
harm the environment or not, then we should err on the side of caution
and not allow the development. |
| |
Human Rights Act 1998 - the plan should be framed
in a way that is compatible with the Human Rights Act. |
| |
Sustainable Development - Development that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. |
| 12.4 |
Monitoring is an important part of the planning process in order
to see how far the plans aims and objectives are being met. This
needs to be an ongoing process. The results of monitoring will help
to indicate when amendments to the plan are necessary and when the
plan should be reviewed. |
| 12.5 |
The plan needs to be reviewed periodically so that it remains up
to date. Over time there will be changes in national government
policy and London policy from the Mayor. Haringey itself is also
constantly changing and developing in terms of its population, lifestyles
and aspirations for the future. Therefore the plan needs to be reviewed
so that it can reflect any changes that may take place. |
|
|
| 12.6 |
Guiding Principles |
| |
- The human rights of everyone living in Haringey should be respected
and not compromised.
- The plan should meet the needs of the local community including
local residents, businesses and visitors to the borough.
|
|
|
| 12.7 |
Key Objectives |
| |
- To make sure action is taken against unlawful development to
keep faith in the planning system and ensure it operates in the
public interest.
- To monitor the plan regularly, including its impact on the environment
and review as necessary to make sure that the plan is kept up
to date and the local environment is preserved and enhanced.

CORE POLICIES |
| |
Implementation |
| 12.8 |
Planning conditions are used to enhance the quality of development
and enable development to proceed that may otherwise have been refused.
Imposing planning conditions, such as limiting the hours of operation
or requiring matching materials to be used in construction, can
help to ensure that development is carried out in Haringey in the
way that the plan intended. Planning conditions will only be used
where they meet the tests set out in circular 11/95. |
| 12.9 |
The Council will use planning conditions
to regulate the form and use of development proposals that are approved |
| 12.10 |
To aid the implementation of this Plan,
the Council has produced supplementary planning guidance on specific
policy areas, such as affordable housing and planning briefs and development
frameworks for specific regeneration areas or sites. This guidance
will provide clarity to people wanting to make a planning application
and those responsible for making the decision. Making policies clearer
will help to ensure that development takes place in line with this
plan's policies and the Council's overall objectives. |
| 12.11 |
Development frameworks and planning briefs
for areas and individual sites in Haringey will set out the type and
mix of development that the Council wishes to see. These action plans
will also set out any requirements that would be asked for in planning
conditions or obligations. This will ensure that areas/sites are developed
in accordance with the Council's vision, policies of the plan and
in a way that benefits the local community. Public consultation will
be carried out on all action plans the Council produces. |
|
|
| |
| POLICY IMR1 |
| ENFORCEMENT |
| To ensure that the
policies of this plan are successfully implemented the Council
will take appropriate enforcement action in the following instances:
|
| a) |
where development
or a change of use has taken place without the necessary planning
permission; |
| b) |
where conditions/planning
obligations have not been complied; |
| c) |
where other
breaches of control have taken place; and |
| d) |
where land
has been allowed to fall into disrepair. |
|
|

| 12.12 |
The Council will take enforcement action
in the above cases in order to make sure the policies of the plan
are implemented properly. If enforcement action is not taken then
it may only serve to increase the amount of unlawful development taking
place in Haringey and people may lose faith in the planning system.
In addition it is unfair to those who have gone through the right
procedure to get planning permission. Enforcement action may not be
necessary in all cases. The Council has discretion to take action
depending on whether the breach of control would unacceptably affect
public amenity. The Council has an enforcement policy, which sets
out the order of priority for enforcement action and the type of enforcement
action that will be taken by the Council in response to breaches of
control. |
| 12.13 |
Under section 215 of the Town and Country
Planning Act the Council has the power to serve a notice on private
landowners. This notice requires the owner to clean up their land
and restore it to an acceptable appearance in order to improve and
maintain the local environment. |
| |
|
| |
Monitoring and Review |
| 12.14 |
The Council will monitor this
plan by assessing progress towards targets such as the housing figure;
monitoring the effectiveness of policies in the plan and producing
an annual monitoring report. |
| 12.15 |
The Council will monitor development
trends in the borough and changes in population and social and economic
trends. The Council will also monitor new national and regional government
advice and legislation. The plan needs to be monitored to indicate
if the plan is achieving what it set out to achieve and to see if
targets set out in the plan are being met. The results of monitoring
will show which policies need to be maintained, changed or removed
from the plan. This work will lead to either the whole plan or sections
of the plan being updated. This work may also lead to action being
taken to remedy failures to meet policies. |
| 12.16 |
Review involves the Council
making changes to strategies, policies and proposals contained in
the plan. Reviews are undertaken to make sure that the plan is kept
up to date and remains relevant to the needs and desires of the local
area/community. A full review of the plan will take place at least
five years after its adoption. Any review undertaken will go through
the necessary consultation process. |
| 12.17 |
The Council will review the
plan in light of the results of monitoring and the changes in Government
policy and alterations and reviews of the London Plan. Under the Planning
and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 the Council is required to prepare
a Local Development Framework and the policies of this Plan will be
reviewed and replaced as Local Development Documents. |
