The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations
2012 as amended - Notice of Consultation on the proposed Inclusive
Design SPD
Islington Council is consulting on its draft Supplementary Planning
Document on Inclusive Design (design standards including those for
accessible housing and inclusive student accommodation) from Monday
30th September until Monday 11th November 2013.
The draft SPD sets out the Council's approach to Inclusive Design,
which applies to all aspects of design, and sets basic minimum
standards for some of the most commonly occurring design elements,
which will be applied through the planning process within the borough
of Islington. It updates the current standards for flexible housing
and wheelchair accessible housing in Islington and provides an
interpretation of those standards for student accommodation.
During the consultation period, the draft SPD and other supporting
documents are available:
· online at www.islington.gov.uk/inclusivedesign
· in hard copy from the Municipal Offices, 222 Upper Street N1 1XR
(Monday to Friday, 9.00am – 5.00pm)
· for reference in all ten of Islington's libraries (find your
local library at www.islington.gov.uk/Education/Libraries/Local)
Any comments should be sent to the Planning Policy team:
· in writing to: Freepost, RSEA-CUHA-YYAS, Planning Policy,
