Hornsey Town Hall plans given green light
The Chair of Hornsey Town Hall Creative Trust (HTHCT), the body that has been working with Haringey Council to develop the Hornsey Tow Hall, this week welcomed the decision to grant planning consent to their development plans.

However, Ann Wilks, Chair of HTHC explains “The Council always made it clear that the costs of refurbishing the Town Hall must be met from the disposal of the land around it. The amount of capital that the site generates will thus critically affect the plans for the Town Hall. We are happy that the plans accepted by the Planning Committee last night balances all the many requirements on a development site of this importance.”
The capital receipts from the enabling development will be dedicated to the restoration of the Town Hall and to creating spaces within it that will be used for a range of cultural, community and enterprise activities.
It is expected that this will still leave a shortfall on the capital funding of over £3 million. The Hornsey Town Hall Creative Trust has undertaken to fundraise to close this gap.
The intention is that the Trust, an independent charity, will run and manage the Town Hall once the doors are open again to the public.
The plans include:
