Changes to planning application representations - 3-9 April 2024

From 3 to 9 April 2024, we will be installing a new Planning and Building Control system.

During this time you can still see planning applications and make application submissions on the Planning Portal, but no new submissions will be visible on the council webpages.

If you want to make a representation on a planning application, send it to planning@islington.gov.uk or post it to: Planning Department, Community Wealth Building, Islington Town Hall, London, N1 2UD.

We're sorry for any inconvenience.

Easter service changes

During the Easter period, some of our services will be operating slightly different hours. Our council’s bin collection schedule will change for one week starting on Friday 29 March to make sure everyone’s waste is picked up around the bank holiday.

See the full schedule and your amended rubbish and recycling collection dates and other service changes including parking and library opening times over the Easter period.

EC1 Public Space Strategy

Since 2004, Islington Council, in partnership with EC1 New Deal for Communities (NDC), has been working on a series of projects to improve public spaces (parks, streets and communal areas on estates) in the EC1 NDC area. The aim of this work is to encourage greater use of the public spaces by improving safety, planting, attractiveness and opportunities for a range of activities to encourage more people to lead more active and social lives near where they live and work.

This work has been guided by the EC1 Public Space Strategy (2004) which identifies the area to be improved, dividing it into manageable sections and projects that can be delivered independently on a phased basis, and which, when seen together make up the whole.

The strategy is based on an area approach to improvements, involving the creation of a 'green chain' network of safe, green and attractive public open spaces. The strategy emphasises making the area feel safe and attractive for all ages and physical abilities, creating areas people feel comfortable walking and cycling in.

Local urban design-led architecture and landscape architectural practices have prepared Frameworks for different areas within the NDC area and designed individual schemes.

Please note that not all of these Frameworks were adopted by the council.
