Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Huge Swathes of Harringay Earmarked to 'Accommodate Majority of Development in Borough'
**UPDATE HERE**
Last year in looking at the huge development planned in Harringay by Hornsey Station, I did a bit of digging round council policies and discovered that in various ways the application fell foul of Council plans and policies.
The planning application was refused, but it's being resubmitted and tonight there's a developer-run consultation meeting. In checking something on that, I came across a the Draft Site Allocations Development Plan document which shows that the site has been earmarked a a "Housing Trajectory Site".
Housing Trajectory sites are sites of over 0.25Ha in size which do not require an allocation. This may be because the site already holds planning consent, or be- cause the Council believes their delivery can be adequately managed using poli- cies contained in the 2006 UDP or its future replacement, the Development Management DPD, when the site comes forward.
To the cynic this may sound like a planning application is a done deal.
That was surprise enough. Imagine my surprise, however in the remainder of the document I saw I saw quite how much of Harringay is also included in this category or in the "Site Allocation" category these latter are "key development sites which will accommodate the majority of development in the borough over the next 20 years".
For the avoidance of doubt, there's:
1. The Hornsey Station Development
2. Jewsons on Wightman Road
3. Vale Rd
4. Arena Retail Park
5. "Greater Ashfield Road"
6. St Ann's Hospital.
I'm not quite sure of the implications of this, but I think a few of us ought to get interested sharpish. There's a consultation period ending on Feb 28th. It's up for discussion in the area forum - Tuesday, 21st January.
Full DPD document attached.

Thanks - that explains it. The roads in black correspond to the roads extracted to form the route structure of the area in the 140 page document (p8/9).
Clearly this is the map that Haringey Council uses for this exercise - is there a link to it?

I would like to know why they closed the viewing of the plans early for the Hornsey station development. Surely they they have to give people a chance to get home from work fist. Not keen on conspiracy theories first but...

I was interested to learn from the Council yesterday that they received about 200 email responses to the consultation on this issue, most of which were from Harringay.
