Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Plans show two thirds of St Ann's Hospital to be developed for housing
Concept diagram from the new plans
The initial plans for the redevelopment have been published and show two thirds of the site being developed for housing.
Whilst the hospital on Harringay's borders is to keep all of its current health provisions, they will now be condensed onto the eastern third of the 29-acre site. The western end of the site is to be developed for “green” housing. The plans show a mix of private / social housing and rent. There will also be a "town square" and limited retail space.
The attached pdf shows the outline plans in more detail.
The historic water tower and green corridor running along the south boundary will be kept.
People will be able to air their views during an eight-week consultation, which began on Monday and runs until Friday, August 3.
Every household in Haringey is due receive a copy of the public consultation document and there are also a number of open events planned:
- June 21, 2-8pm, St Ann’s Library Hall, Cisbury Road, N15 5PU
- June 23, 11am-4pm,Tottenham Carnival, Bruce Castle Park

Mmm, that's a good point. Clearly all the road and transport options need to be looked at as part of the planning - even the almost scared status of the Hermitage Road closure - local political considerations notwithstanding of course.

The entrance on Hermitage Rd is not currently used and hasn't been for years so I don't think you could call it a closure. Or did you mean something else?

Surely opening up Hermitage Rd would make the problem even worse as the cut through would become even more attractive. The only real solution would be to have an entrance to St Ann's on the west side and they'd have to open up the Gardens from St Ann's Rd. I'm sure people that side would not be happy with that either though so maybe there isn't a solution. One thing is for sure - it would be hellish if they opened up the Hermitage Rd entrance to the site.

I wonder what is going to happen to the trees. There are many unique and unusual trees on the site and the area bordering the railway line is protected woodland.

It just so happens that the health authority have recently discovered that a lot of the trees in the part of the site where they would like to build are terribly diseased and should come down!
