As a Development Plan Document, the Development Management Policies also form part of Islington's Development Plan (alongside the London Plan and other Development Plan Documents: see Figure 1.1). Figure 1.1 Documents in Islington's Development and Local Plans 1.2 Islington's Local Plan consists of a number of discrete parts. The first part of the Local Plan - the Core Strategy - was adopted by the council in February 2011, and will be subject to periodic review. The Development Management Policies add detail to, and complement, the spatial and strategic policies in the Core Strategy. 1.3 The Development Management Policies will be used to determine applications for planning permission in Islington alongside strategic and spatial policies in the Core Strategy and other policies within the Development Plan. These policies are aimed at achieving development that helps deliver the vision and objectives set out in Islington's Core Strategy, to bring forward sustainable development. Development Management Policies - Adoption 2013 Islington Council 7 1 Introduction What are the Development Management Policies? 1.4 Development Management is a positive and proactive approach to shaping, considering, determining and delivering development proposals. The emphasis is on collaboration - coming to a balanced agreement which solves problems and results in the delivery of sustainable development. 1.5 The process is led by the Local Planning Authority, working closely with those proposing developments and other stakeholders. It is undertaken in the spirit of partnership and inclusiveness and supports the delivery of key priorities and outcomes. The Development Management Policies do not just control land uses but positively promote sustainable development. Development Management Policies help implement the Core Strategy. 1.6 Only policies which relate to the delivery of the Core Strategy objectives and bring forward sustainable development are included and repetition of national and London Plan policy is avoided unless policies are expressed in a locally-specific manner in response to local circumstances. Sustainable development 1.7 The purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. The government’s National Planning Policy Framework(NPPF) reiterates the five ‘guiding principles’ of sustainable development set out in the UK Sustainable Development Strategy: Securing the Future. These are: living within the planet’s environmental limits; ensuring a strong, healthy and just society; achieving a sustainable economy; promoting good governance; and using sound science responsibly. 1.8 The NPPF states that Local Plans should be based on the principle of the presumption in favour of sustainable development. In practice this requires Local Plans to include policies that make it clear which types of development are sustainable and can therefore be approved without delay. The policies in this plan both complement and clarify other Development Plan policies, and therefore contribute to the effective implementation of this important principle in Islington. Plan making stages 1.9 The Development Management Policies have been through a number of stages of preparation and consultation, as set out in Table 1.1. 8 Islington Council Development Management Policies - Adoption 2013 1 Introduction Table 1.1 Plan making stages Issues and options paper Summer 2009 An informal period for identifying issues, gathering evidence and developing policy options.

  • Historic Maps and Plans of Islington (1553-1894)
    Mapping Islington Historic maps and plans of Islington (1553-1894) Mapping Islington showcases a selection of maps and plans relating to the three former historic parishes that now form the London Borough of Islington. Maps are a window into the past. They provide historical evidence and offer a valuable insight to bygone streets, industries and landscapes. They are also an important source for local history research and help us to understand the development and changes that have shaped the Plan of parish of St Mary, character and identity of our borough. Islington and its environs. Surveyed by Edward Baker The display’s earliest map dates from mid-16th Century (c.1793) when Islington was a rural village outside of the City of London, ending with a survey published during the late-Victorian era when the area had become a densely populated and urbanised district of north London. The London Borough of Islington was formed in 1965 when the Metropolitan boroughs of Islington and Finsbury merged. In 2019 the borough covers an area of 14.86 km2 and stretches from Highgate in the north to the City of London borders in the south. Before 1900 Islington was historically administered in three distinct civil parishes: • St Mary Islington (north and central) • St James Clerkenwell (south-west) • St Luke Old Street (south-east) The Copperplate Map of London, c.1553-59 Moorfields The Copperplate Map of London is a large-scale plan Frans Franken of the city and its immediate environs. It was originally Museum of London created in 15 printed copperplate sections, of which only three are still in existence.

  • London's Urban Landscape
    London’s Urban Landscape London’s London’s Urban Landscape is the first major study of a global city to adopt a materialist perspective and stress the significance of place and the built environment to the urban landscape. Edited by Christopher Tilley, the volume is inspired by phenomenological thinking and presents fine-grained ethnographies of the practices of everyday life in London. In doing so, it charts a unique perspective on the city that integrates ethnographies of daily life with an analysis of material culture. The first part of the volume considers the residential sphere of urban life, discussing in detailed case studies ordinary residential streets, housing estates, suburbia and London’s mobile ‘linear village’ of houseboats. The second part analyses the public sphere, including ethnographies of markets, a park, the social rhythms of a taxi rank, and graffiti and street art. London’s Urban Landscape returns us to the everyday lives of people and the manner in which they understand their lives. The deeply sensuous character of the embodied experience of the city is invoked in the thick descriptions of entangled relationships between people and places, and the paths of movement between them. What stories do door bells and house facades tell us about contemporary life in a Victorian terrace? How do antiques acquire value and significance in a market? How does living in a concrete megastructure relate to the lives of the people who dwell there? These and a host of other questions are addressed in this fascinating book that will London’s appeal widely to all readers interested in London or contemporary urban life.
