Local planning points
If your home is in Islington
Islington's current Local Plan was adopted on 28 September 2023 and has three parts: Strategic and Development Management Policies, Site Allocations, and the Bunhill and Clerkenwell Area Action Plan.
SourceThere are 42 conservation areas. Some are covered by Article 4(2) directions, so minor works such as changing doors and windows or painting brickwork may need planning permission.
SourceBasements should generally be no more than one storey deep, with no more than 3m floor-to-ceiling height, and together with other structures should occupy less than 50% of the original garden (Basement Development SPD, 2016). The SPD predates the 2023 Local Plan, so it should be read alongside the current basement policy.
