  • London Borough of Islignton Local Plan Examination Matter 2 Area
    London Borough of Islington Matter 2 – Area Spatial Strategies General Matters 2.1 Is the overall strategy set out by the area spatial strategies justified? 2.1.1 Yes. The approach to the area spatial strategies is also explained and assessed in the Integrated Impact Assessment chapter 4 (pages 91-99) (document reference PD4). As the IIA explains, the spatial strategies are based on key areas where the level of change expected over the plan period requires specific spatial policies for managing growth. The principle of growth and development is already established in the spatial areas through the adopted Core Strategy. The Core Strategy featured seven key area policies including Bunhill and Clerkenwell, the borough’s four town centres and two other key areas of change around key transport hubs and regeneration areas. These key areas have been carried forward into the Draft Local Plan. 2.1.2 An explanation of the approach to the area spatial strategies is provided in Topic Paper – Vision, Objectives, Policy PLAN 1 and Spatial Strategies (document reference SD20). As set out in the Topic Paper, the issues that existed when the spatial areas were derived continue to exist, with the spatial strategy reflecting the areas where growth and development needs have been and continue to be focused and recognising constraints for growth elsewhere. 2.1.3 A further explanation of the approach to the Area Spatial Strategies is set out in LBI03 (LB Islington response to the Inspectors letter INS04). The spatial strategy areas already accommodate established functions and land uses and these areas have the greatest capacity to accommodate future growth, with around 80% of the growth identified from allocated sites taking place in spatial strategy areas.
