This is a group of local planning documents. Together these local plans work alongside London Plan policies and national policy. 1.0.2 The main document in the LDF is the Core Strategy. The council is consulting on its final draft of the Core Strategy at the same time as it consults on this document. This is the first stage of producing the Site Allocations document. We have included sites that we believe are important to delivering the Core Strategy. 1.0.3 Other sites can and will be developed within the borough. The aim of the Site Allocation document is not to list every site which will be developed. Here the focus is on larger sites that will deliver significant amounts of development such as housing or employment space. The Core Strategy identifies as number of strategic locations - parts of the borough that are likely to see the most change in the next fifteen years. These areas are: Archway Finsbury Park Nag's Head and Holloway Road Highbury Corner and Holloway Road Angel and Upper Street King's Cross and Pentonville Road Bunhill and Clerkenwell Site Specific Allocations Islington Council 3 1 Section One: introduction Statement 1 Having your say 1.0.4 At this stage it is possible for anyone to suggest other sites or to suggest alternative uses for sites already included. We would not normally include smaller sites outside the Strategic Locations - these sites could still be developed but are not essential to delivering the Core Strategy. Please note that all comments received during this stage will be in the public domain. 1.0.5 Where uses for sites are being suggested it is important to remember that we would expect these uses to be consistent with national, London Plan and Core Strategy policies. There would have to be very strong reasons (supported by evidence) for departing from these polices. In the next section we set out the policy context in a little more detail. 1.0.6 Islington is committed to being a listening borough. After consulting on this issues and options paper we will consider the representations we receive. We may also be in further communication with landowners and those who have given views on a site. 1.1 The policy context 1.1.1 The council makes decisions about land-use in the borough based on national, regional (London) and it own local policy. These decisions affect what can be built and where and also how buildings are used. These decisions can also affect other matters including; the public realm (the accessible spaces in-between buildings) parks and nature conservation the energy used by buildings parking conservation 1.1.2 These decisions are guided by the Development Plan; this is made up of a set of documents including this document. In the next few paragraphs we explain the Local Development Plan in a bit more detail – you may find it useful to look at figure one as well. 1.1.3 The government produces Planning Policy Statements and supporting guidance that set out a general framework for planning at the regional and local level. In London, the Mayor produces a development strategy for greater 4 Islington Council Site Specific Allocations 1 Section One: introduction London; this is called the London Plan. The London Plan has to be consistent with national policy and our local policies have to be consistent with both national and London policies. 1.1.4 The London Plan together with parts of the Local Development Framework forms the Local Development Plan. This document, The Site-Specific Allocations, is part of the Local Development Plan. The London Plan is currently being reviewed by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. This review of the London Plan will be complete by winter 2011 - that is, before we produce the first draft of the Site Allocation document. 1.1.5 The current London Plan contains over 200 policies but its general priorities are to: Accommodate London’s growth within its boundaries without encroaching on open spaces. Make London a better city for people to live in. Make London a more prosperous city with strong and diverse economic growth. Promote social inclusion and tackle deprivation and discrimination. Improve London’s accessibility. Make London a more attractive, well-designed and green city. 1.1.6 The council is producing a series of new local planning documents that come together in the Local Development Framework. The key document is the Core Strategy which sets out the council's overall aims for what it wants planning to achieve for the borough in the future. The Core Strategy has to be consistent (in general conformity) with the London Plan. All of the documents that will make up the Local Development Framework are shown in figure one. Site Specific Allocations Islington Council 5 1 Section One: introduction Figure 1 The Local Development Framework in context 1.1.7 More information about planning is available from the planning portal http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/ and from our own Statement of Community Involvement. 1.2 The Core Strategy and the Sustainable Communities Strategy 1.2.1 The Islington Strategic Partnership (ISP) brings together senior representatives from the key statutory, voluntary, community and business sectors in the borough. These include; Islington Council Islington Primary Care Trust Police Islington Community Network Fire Brigade Job Centre Plus City and Islington College London Metropolitan University Homes for Islington Family Mosaic Housing Association 6 Islington Council Site Specific Allocations 1 Section One: introduction 1.2.2 The ISP's purpose is to bring about improvements in the quality of life for local people, narrow the gap between the most deprived communities and neighbourhoods and the rest of the borough, and achieve the vision of “One Islington”. This is a vision of the borough as a place with successful and active communities, where people have jobs, where businesses are successful, and where residents and visitors enjoy a wide range of high quality services. The ISP offers the potential to coordinate the funding and activities of the different partners and so deliver greater improvements than by working alone. 1.2.3 The Sustainable Communities Strategy was agreed by the ISP in 2008 and provides a vision of better, more integrated public services and a more empowered community. As a partner, the council will use its planning policies to support the work of the ISP and to deliver the aims set out in the Sustainable Communities Strategy. 1.2.4 The council's Core Strategy and the Islington Strategic Partnerships Sustainable Communities Strategy share a common vision for the borough. The overall vision is for the borough to be a place where real change has been achieved to create a stronger, sustainable community. This vision informs this document; for example by seeking to provide for the housing need in the borough. 1.2.5 The Site Allocations Document will be subject to a Sustainability Appraisal and an Equalities Impact Assessment. The assessments are carried out to assess the environmental, economic and social impacts of Sites document. 1.3 The purpose of the Site Specific Allocations document 1.3.1 The purpose of the Site Allocation document is to support the delivery of the Core Strategy (and so also the Sustainable Communities Strategy). It allows the council and landowners to discuss the potential of significant sites. It also allows the public and other specialists to take a view on the sites included. 1.3.2 Larger developments may help the council and the ISP realise its aims in a number of ways, for example by: bringing new employment to the borough allowing for the incorporation of open space or play facilities helping to reduce the need to travel by car increasing people's sense of safety and security through better design 1.3.3 One of the council’s priorities is to be a listening council. As part of its commitment the council has a Planning - Statement of Community Involvement. This is available online at www.islington.gov.uk/Environment/Planning/Involve/ or we can send you a paper-copy. Site Specific Allocations Islington Council 7 1 Section One: introduction 1.3.4 This document has been developed in accordance with the Statement of Community Involvement and has been subject to a number of periods of consultation.

There are no monuments dedicated to ordinary people. Heredity of ordinary people was cancelled on the course of the years. Then, how to find out about life of ordinary people. The only way is to visit the remains, if they can be found. With the industrialisation, 1850 on, people moved from the north of UK to find a job in London. They settled where the trains stopped, in Islington, or in the north and east of London. Travel 8 will lead you to these places, where workers and industries were. Travel London 8, ISLINGTON and the NORTH Visiting the north of London is possible to imagine how London was at the time of the 1850’s first industrialisation. Here are beautiful places, with many, many interesting things to discover. Travel 8 starts in Islington, where you reach it with the Tube at Angel Underground Station. Outside the station turn on the right, towards Islington Town. Here you find the monument to Hugh Myddelton, the man that in 1613 had the idea to create an aqueduct for selling fresh water to Londoners. Water came only from the North, (this was the reason why the Romains founded London on the north shore of the Thames).
