DM41: New Town Centre development 

A) Proposals for new retail, leisure and cultural uses within Metropolitan and District Town Centres, and Local Centres, will be supported where they:

  • Are consistent with the size, role and function of the centre and its catchment;
  • Sustain and enhance the vitality and viability of the town centre network; and
  • Contribute to the delivery of Haringey’s spatial strategy.

B) Proposals for new retail, leisure and cultural uses at edge-of-centre locations will be permitted where:

  • It is demonstrated through the sequential approach to site selection that there are no appropriate town centre sites available and the proposed location is the most preferable in light of alternatives considered; and
  • The proposal complies with (A) above.

C) Proposals for new retail, leisure and cultural uses in out-of-centre locations will only be permitted where:

  1. It is demonstrated through the sequential approach to site selection that there are no appropriate town centre or edge-of-centre sites available;
  2. Having regard to (1) above, consideration has been given to reasonable alternatives in terms of the format and scale of development in order to accommodate the use in town or edge-of-centre sites; and
  3. The proposal has been subject to an impact assessment, where required by national policy, and will not demonstrably harm centres within its catchment.
