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.

Clerkenwell Fire Station

Clerkenwell Fire Station Planning Brief

The London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority closed Clerkenwell Fire Station in January 2014.

The purpose of the Clerkenwell Fire Station Planning Brief is to guide any future development proposals. The planning brief explains how the council will apply its planning policies and standards to any future development proposal that comes forward for the site.

The planning brief seeks to ensure that development proposals deliver the following objectives.

  • Ensure that Clerkenwell Fire Station continues to be an important community asset that is publicly accessible to the local community
  • Refurbish the Grade II listed Fire Station building in a way that meets the council’s policies and standards and also modernises it for a range of different uses
  • Provide a museum in the Fire Station building or another publicly accessible social infrastructure use
  • Deliver a range of new homes, including affordable homes, to better meet local housing needs in the neighbourhood
  • Provide high quality open space, primarily for future residents, in the Fire Station’s yard
  • Ensure that any new buildings achieve a high standard of architectural design that improves the character and quality of the area.

A public consultation on the draft planning brief was held between 1 August to 14 September 2014. The council’s executive adopted the planning brief on 23 October 2014. 

The final planning brief for Clerkenwell Fire Station is available for download below.
