IPPF: Council says the sky's the limit!

We’ve noticed something of HUGE importance about the council’s IPPF document. It fails to set any limits on building heights!
This is shocking, considering that this is the document that is meant to take the key findings of the Prince’s Foundation’s consultation and turn them into local planning policy. And their consultation had concluded that the tallest new buildings in central Walthamstow should be no higher than 6-8 storeys. (The Prince’s Foundation were excluded from commenting on height for the Arcade site, but that’s another story.)
So… if you haven’t yet commented on the IPPF then please click here to do so – and please be sure to say that it must include area maps that set limits on building heights and densities, based on the Prince’s Foundation’s findings.
See our other IPPF story below for more on what we think of this important council document. Note: the deadline for commenting is this Friday (the 4th).
