This replaces the existing Unitary Development Plan (UDP). The Local Development Framework is a portfolio of planning policy documents which are each the subject of a statutory preparation and adoption procedure. The key documents in the LDF are called development plan documents (DPDs) and their preparation includes a sustainability appraisal and an independent examination by a planning inspector. Area Action Plans (AAPs) form a key part of the LDF and are used to provide planning frameworks for areas experiencing development pressures or where significant change or conservation is needed. Finsbury Park has been identified as a priority area for an Area Action Plan (AAP) due to a need for a clear planning framework to aid the regeneration of one of the most deprived parts of Islington, and one which is currently facing increasing development pressures. While the area covered by this AAP is contained within Islington, Finsbury Park as a whole also covers part of Hackney and Haringey. The purpose of the AAP, which was prepared jointly with the Finsbury Park Partnership, is to provide a clear framework for the development of the area over the next five to ten years. The AAP will be an important tool to coordinate future change and to promote opportunities for regeneration, employment and business. The preparation of the Finsbury Park AAP commenced in early 2005. Neither Hackney nor Haringey Councils considered that the AAP would benefit from being prepared jointly by the three boroughs, however officers from Hackney and Haringey have been closely involved with the preparation of the AAP, and had representatives on the AAP steering group. The process for developing this AAP involved the collection of baseline information such as urban design, transportation and property market analysis of the area, and collecting the views of local business, landowners and community organisations. This information enabled the identification of key issues in the area and possible options for the future. A process of continuous consultation involving meetings, workshops, statutory public consultation has led from the issues and options report through a preferred options report to this Submission Draft of the AAP. This draft of the Finsbury Park AAP will be submitted to a government-appointed inspector who will examine the plan. You will have a six-week period to propose changes to the plan or support it, and everyone has a right to be heard. The inspector (not the Council) will then make the final decision on what the Finsbury Park AAP should say. 3 ­­ Finsbury Park Area Action Plan - October 2006 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Supporting evidence base Jun 2005 Jul Issues and options Aug Finsbury Park Area Action Plan Sep Options consultation Oct Nov Preferred options Dec Jan Feb Statutory consultation Mar Apr May Submission draft AAP produced Jun 2006 Jul Aug Sep Council approves submission draft AAP Oct Submit draft AAP to Secretary of State Nov Statutory consultation Dec Jan Feb Mar Independent examination Apr May Jun 2007 Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov 4 Dec Adoption of final AAP ­­ Finsbury Park Area Action Plan - October 2006 Local context Finsbury Park Area Action Plan Finsbury Park is located in the north-eastern edge of the borough, about five kilometres north of the City of London. The wider area falls within the administrative boundaries of the London Boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney. It is a vibrant multi-cultural area, with cafés and shops that reflect this diversity. Finsbury Park Station is the busiest transport interchange in London outside Zone , providing links to central and north east London on the Piccadilly and Victoria underground lines, and First Capital Connect train services to Kings Cross and the City, and north to Cambridge and Stevenage. The area around the station is unique mix of uses, offering distinctive fashion retail on Fonthill Road, serving as a gateway to the new Arsenal Stadium, and connecting to residential neighbourhoods, predominantly of three to four storey Victorian terrace streets. The areas also benefits from the large open green space of ‘Finsbury Park’ directly to the north east of the station. The park has recently undergone a £5,000,000 restoration and improvement programme.

London Borough of Islington Finsbury Park Area Action Plan - October 2006 There were five key potential development sites included in the AAP area. These are shown on the map below. This AAP contains site specific policies for four of these sites. During the course of producing the AAP it emerged that there was no real consensus of what specific policies there should be for the Island site. Therefore it was omitted from the site specific policies, although the general polices elsewhere in this plan do apply. In addition, residential development at the old Arsenal stadium and completion of the new Arsenal Stadium at Ashburton Grove will have an impact on the level of employment, residential and retail land in the borough. Finsbury Park is thus an important area of major change including residential intensification. The aim of the Finsbury Park AAP is to provide a clear vision for the area, covering all relevant planning policy issues including transport, urban design, employment, housing, retail and leisure.

Finsbury Park Area Action Plan - October 2006 Finsbury Park Area Action Plan Islington’s other strategies An explicit aim of the Local Development Framework (LDF) system is that it should give a ‘spatial’ dimension to the council’s other policies and strategies, for example housing, regeneration and transport have an impact ‘on the ground’. As well as spelling out how these strategies will impact on the physical environment of the borough, the LDF should also identify the links between them - for example between housing

  • Highgate to Stoke Newington
    Capital Ring section 12 page 1 CAPITAL RING Section 12 of 15 Highgate to Stoke Newington Section start: Priory Gardens, Highgate Nearest station to start: Highgate (Northern line) Section finish: Stoke Newington Nearest station to finish: Stoke Newington (Rail) Section distance 5.4 miles plus 0.2 miles of station links Total = 5.6 miles (9.0 km) Introduction This section starts at Priory Gardens, near Highgate station. Although this is a densely populated area, surprisingly this walk is one of the greenest parts of the Capital Ring. This is largely achieved by following most of the Parkland Walk (London's longest nature reserve) along a former railway line. It is easy walking on firm paths and pavements, with a steep climb including some steps at the start; this can be avoided on an alternative route. After the Parkland Walk, the route passes through the beautiful Finsbury Park, along by the New River - created as a canal four hundred years ago - past Stoke Newington Reservoirs, into the attractive Clissold Park and finishes at the fascinating Abney Park Cemetery. There are pubs or cafés at Highgate, Crouch End Hill, Finsbury Park, Manor House, Woodberry Down, Clissold Park and Stoke Newington. There is a small outdoor café at the Priory Road exit from Highgate Tube Station. Public toilets are at Finsbury Park and Clissold Park. There are links with Crouch Hill, Finsbury Park and Manor House stations.

Two hours 35 minutes walking time. Short Walk 2, to Manor House: 11½ km (7.1 miles). Two hours 45 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 173. Alexandra Palace is in north London, 10 km N of Westminster. Toughness 3 out of 10 (2 for the short walks from Alexandra Palace, 1 for the others). Features This walk is essentially a merger of two short walks. The first part is the popular Parkland Walk, a linear nature reserve created along the trackbed of a disused railway line. The second part links two new nature reserves created from operational Thames Water reservoirs, using a waymarked cycle/pedestrian route along residential streets. The walk starts with a short climb through Alexandra Park to Alexandra Palace, with splendid views of the London skyline from its terrace. This entertainment venue was intended as the north London counterpart to the Crystal Palace and although it was destroyed by fire just two weeks after opening in 1873 it was promptly rebuilt. Its private owners tried to sell the site and parkland for development in 1900 but it was acquired by a group of local authorities for the benefit of the public.
