Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

The Council is consulting on its emerging Wood Green Area Action Plan Development Plan Document. This consultation is an initial consultation (Regulation 18 under the Town and Country Planning Regulations 2012) introducing the content that the documents will cover.

This document will form the Local Development Plan for the Wood Green area, and in conjunction with other Local Plan documents will be used to make decisions on Planning Applications up until 2035. The Draft Wood Green Area Action Plan proposes a comprehensive set of policies, proposals and site allocations for future development within the Wood Green area, including thematic policies for the AAP area e.g. open space, transport and tall buildings, and site specific allocations within Wood Green.

The draft Wood Green Area Action Plan area comprises much of the Noel Park and Woodside wards, as well as smaller parts of Harringay, West Green and Alexandra wards.

The AAP document, as well as it’s Sustainability Appraisal is available to view at 6th Floor, River Park House, N22 8HQ, the Civic Centre, High Road, Wood Green, N22 8LE, in local libraries and online at www.haringey.gov.uk/localplan

Responses should be made by email to localplan@haringey.gov.uk through our online consultation portal at woodgreensfuture.commonplace.is or in writing to Planning Policy, 6th Floor, River Park House, Wood Green, N22 8HQ. Please note that all representations received will be made publicly available. Responses should be received by 5pm Monday, 31st March 2015.

For further details please contact the Planning Policy Team on 020 8489 1479 or email localplan@haringey.gov.uk.

This is an excellent read!

"Tree planting throughout the area, to re-establish a feeling of “wooded” and “greenness” in the area."

See what they did there?

It's a heck of a lot better than letting the place rot which the last generation of local 'leaders' chose to do. I like the idea of making a view of the palace from the high street.

Yes it would be lovely to look at Ally Pally from Wood Green.

I'm less keen on the proposed new north-south "Primary Route" apparently inviting more cars and perhaps a bus onto Wightman Road:

Hence firming up the bridge on Wightman road in the first place .... ?

It's a bit puzzling as other diagrams suggest that Wightman is to become a cycling "Quietway". If so then I think that may be the first Quietway shared with 120K motor vehicle journeys per week!

Does this diagram suggest the council want to demolish all buildings along the high road?

Most of them, start reading from page 130 here: http://www.haringey.gov.uk/sites/haringeygovuk/files/aap_med_res_16...

Before you look at details, put it into the bigger context of it being part and parcel of the views of those running the council. Not content with privatising pretty much all council property and seeking the destruction of most council housing, they now want to rip up almost the entire Wood Green area. The beneficiaries of course will be their friends the property speculators - the ones they meet (annually it now seems) in the south of France. The losers are the residents who will be evicted from their homes and have their communities destroyed.

Such is the situation with the politics of the council leadership. Adoration of big business, contempt for ordinary folk. It used to be called Blairism and it still should be. Any Labour councillors who can see through the lies should be organising mass opposition and the removal of the mean and politically ugly clique in charge of the council.

Funny how these public exhibitions are held mostly in work/commuting time and never at a weekend/late evening. Agree Wood Green isn't working at the moment (it is a shadow of its former self), but I am very concerned on the impact on people who live there at the moment.  Also, if new builds/high rise just becomes investors/landlords' paradise like any other development then it does nothing to help people struggling with high rents.  

It's true, you can't decrease private rent prices just by increasing supply in a popular city - if you are making the city a nicer place as you build ( gentrification increases the demand and hence the price). Social housing or limiting the population is the only answer. Does anyone know, will this development mean a net increase or decrease in social housing?
