<p>This passed me by too - it's really high for the High Road - 8 storeys!!! I guess this will set the precedent for redevelopment along the road and the loss of some historic (lower scale) townscape. Maybe they referenced Wood Green Shopping Centre and the plan is go 8 storeys right across the High Road (havent read the Area Action Plan if there is one). I know it's an improvement on what's there but I think 4-5 (5th set back) would have been more appropriate. Its a suburban shopping…</p>

<p>Jezza - Thanks for the link to the previous thread, which I had missed previously. Comparing the illustration in the 2019 thread with the more recent one from the Standard, it looks as if the length of the development has been increased. It is good to see from the 2019 thread that there will, in fact, be homes for social rent. That is what the area is desperately in need of; otherwise, there would be nothing for local people.</p>

<p>It could be a lot worse - I don't really mind, compared to what's there now. And if it regenerates some of the tatty shops up that end of Wood Green then that would be a bonus.</p>

<p>I think they are a bit high right up to the road but apart from that they look OK. Haringey approve anything so we are lucky it's not worse</p>
