Policy information sourced from the Islington Local Plan

ST2 Waste

  • Development proposals must provide waste and recycling facilities which:
    1. fit current and future collection practices and targets;
    2. are accessible to all;
    3. are designed to provide convenient access for all people, helping to support people to recycle; and
    4. provide high quality storage and collection systems in line with Council guidance.
  • The Council will continue to work with the seven North London boroughs on the North London Waste Plan to provide sufficient land to meet waste management needs across the seven North London boroughs. The policies in the North London Waste Plan will be used to consider proposals for waste management facilities across the seven North London boroughs.
  • The Hornsey Street Re-use and Recycling Centre will be safeguarded in order for Islington to continue to contribute to meeting aggregated waste planning requirements. The safeguarded Hornsey Street Re-use and Recycling Centre is identified on the Policies Map. Where development is proposed within close proximity to this facility, it must ensure that the ability of the Hornsey Street facility to operate effectively is not threatened, via the design/layout of a scheme and/or the incorporation of appropriate measures to limit effects of sound, vehicle movements and other effects, in line with the ‘agent-of-change’ principle.
