Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Exhibitions and Latest on Plans for Redevelopment of St Ann's Hospital
The current shape of St Ann's future
The following from Andrew Wright, Director of Strategic Development, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust:
I am writing to update you on the plans for the redevelopment of the St Ann’s Hospital site and to let you know how we are providing further opportunities for local people, patients carers, NHS staff working at St Ann’s and others to give their views on the latest plans at a series of public exhibitions over the next few weeks.
I attach a short leaflet which gives more information on the latest proposals. I would be grateful if you could add these onto Harringay Online, to help publicise the opportunities for people to see the latest plans.
The leaflet shows how the plans have developed since the public consultation last summer. We have taken the comments we received in the public consultation and from other discussions into account in the latest plans. They involve fewer housing units, more family houses with gardens and fewer flats, lower height buildings and more green spaces. The health campus which will be retained will include a brand new mental health inpatient unit, as well as improvements to the rest of the campus to make it a better environment for patients and staff.
The leaflet also gives details of the three public exhibitions in local libraries across the borough and the permanent exhibition at St Ann’s Hospital from 1 to 19 July. At the end of the leaflet, there is a questionnaire asking for views on the latest plans. We would like to hear any views that you have at this stage, as well as those of other stakeholders, so that we can finalise our outline planning application, which is due to be submitted to Haringey Council this September. The leaflet gives more details on the next steps and the further opportunities there will be for everyone to comment during the formal public consultation run by Haringey Council on the outline planning application in the autumn this year.

The trees on the floor plan do not correspond to the actual location of the very real trees in the grounds of the current hospital. The person who drew this plan has used extreme artistic licence.
This floor plan looks great on paper but as i am an outpatient i know the grounds very well. There are many old fruit trees throughout the present grounds that i inspect (when i get time) to see how they are doing. There has been no tree maintenance for a number of years and the trees are in distress in most cases (remember these are very old trees) . Trees are as important an architechtural feature as any building and should be treated with as much attention to detail. (rant over)

The old trees are very important and I wonder if they will really be retained. I am alarmed by this whole development and the pressure it will put on existing, already over-stretched resources in this area. I don't see any mention on this plan for a doctor's surgery, a school (they keep banging on about family homes so... where are they gonna send their kids?) and other facilities.
We are expected to be pleased that the flats will no longer be higher than 5 stories. Cheers.
Plans always look lovely but the reality will be extra pressure and an increased sense of over-crowding round here but no input to infrastructure.

The leaflet gives so little information that it is not possible to give any informed comments on this plan. There are no figures or statistics about the hospital part. The open spaces for children are woefully inadequate. No indication how tall the new hospital building will be. No extra provision for schools, transport or GP services for all these extra people and no sign of a 106 agreement. How much is going to be social housing at truly affordable rents with security of tenure? How is Tottenham expected to cope with all these new developments with no extra infrastructure?
