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.

Well worth taking the time to read through the plan (linked in the original post) - the scale of it is pretty intense.
Think I was most surprised by the size of the potential areas for CrossRail 2 development - which, admittedly hasn't been finalised yet, but still - that's a big circle!

Has anybody been able to identify the Housing Trajectory Site on in the Green Lanes area north of the Arena and south of Turnpike Lane? It looks like it is the BDC site (which was nominated by Ove Arups), but it is west of the line which (should) indicate a main thoroughfare. If it is on the west side of Green Lanes it is not the BDC site. If it is the BDC site, it is curious that the main road on the map morphs in to the backstreets around Colina Road, so that would be an idiosyncracy of the way the map has been drafted..
Talking of which, when are we going to see a much-needed pedestrian crossing at the junction of Colina Rd and Green Lanes, near Blend? It's hazardous to cross Green Lanes in this area.

Strangely, Geoff, it was referred to on another thread you've commented on this morning. See this comment - and below you'll see that I've linked to a specific discussion about it.

Thanks, Hugh - forgive me if I am mistaken, but this is not the Hornsey Station Steelyard, which is too far to the east of the site I have identified - and I can't find any other reference to the site to which I have drawn attention in the thread you refer to (although I may have missed it).

My apologies, I misread what you'd written. Yes Indeed; it looks like the BDC site. I'd missed that one somehow.
This map might help (click and then click again for full size):

Sorry, out of date name. This'll put you right - http://hgyol.in/1iVCi0F

Right, thought so. Did I read once that this is where Majestic Wines started? So they're developing this whole site? I imagine it'll be in the docs somewhere.

Yes, Majestic started in Colina House - and in fact bang opposite there on the land sold by the working men's club there's another development about to happen.
