Haringey has exceeded its housing delivery targets, according to the latest Authority Monitoring Report (AMR). The report, which covers 2020-2024, was presented to the Strategic Planning Committee on Monday 7 July 2025.
The Council's Housing Delivery Test performance has improved significantly. As of 2023, delivery in Haringey was 99% of the required target, meaning the Council is not currently subject to any consequences due to its housing delivery performance. Had Haringey's housing delivery fallen below 95% of the requirement over the previous three years, the council would have been required to prepare an action plan to assess the causes of underdelivery and identify actions to increase delivery in future years. Further consequences would have been applied if delivery fell below 85% or 75% of the target.1
Over the four-year period, housing delivery in the borough was generally strong, with 4,446 homes completed. This includes 4,171 conventional homes and the bringing back into use of vacant properties.
The AMR also highlighted the delivery of affordable homes. Over the four years, 993 affordable homes were delivered in the borough. As of March 2024, the Council had an evidenced housing land supply of 5.18 years.
The Strategic Planning Committee also received the Haringey Infrastructure Funding Statement 2023/24. Up to 31 March 2024, the Council had collected £35.5m of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Within the 2023/24 financial year, a total of £3.2m was received. As at 31 March 2024, the Council had allocated £28.4m of CIL and had spent £8.9m of allocated CIL.
Up to 31 March 2024, the Council held £12.1m of unspent Section 106 contributions. Within the 2023/24 financial year, a total of £5m S106 was received. As at 31 March 2024, the Council had allocated over half of the contributions held. Within the 2023/24 financial year, a total of £6.4m S106 was spent. Key areas of spend included £4.3m towards a council housing scheme on the former Ashley Road Depot site in Tottenham Hale which will deliver 272 new council homes. A site visit took place on 30 May 2025 to the newly completed Council housing scheme on the former Ashley Road Depot site, now known as Wingspan Walk. The funding also contributed £627k towards open space improvements in the borough including £276k towards the transformation of The Paddock in Tottenham Hale from an underused and overgrown space into a welcoming local nature reserve.
The Haringey Authority Monitoring Report 2020-2024 and the Haringey Infrastructure Funding Statement 2023-24 are available on the council's website.
1 If Haringey's housing delivery fell below certain levels, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) provides that plan-making authorities will be subject to consequences as follows:
- where delivery falls below 95% of the requirement over the previous three years, the authority should prepare an action plan to assess the causes of underdelivery and identify actions to increase delivery in future years;
- where delivery falls below 85% of the requirement over the previous three years, the authority should include a buffer of 20% to their identified supply of specific deliverable sites, in addition to the requirement for an action plan;
- where delivery falls below 75% of the requirement over the previous three years, footnote 8 of the NPPF, in addition to the requirements for an action plan and 20% buffer.
