Kings Cross Station Dalston Junction Hallsville, Canning Town It is fantastic to welcome John McAslan + Partners to Tottenham. Their enthusiasm for the area is testament to its potential to be one of London s centres for creativity, training and opportunity. capital.

John McAslan + Partners have been appointed as architects for the central pedestrian spine of the masterplan. Each plot will consist of a two/three story podium with a tower placed at both the north and south end.

4 The Local Community Proposals for Tottenham Green and Apex House Site Pupils from Northumberland Park Community School designing and presenting their suggested development plans for Tottenham Green and Apex House site. Key Issues: of modernisation JOHN McASLAN + PARTNERS John McAslan and Partners are committed to working with local schools and colleges and encouraging students to explore architecture and design, as well as providing work experience placements. So far we have taken a trip around Tottenham with the pupils of School to find out how they would improve their local area. The studio is also hosting workshops with students where they can use our technology to expand their ideas and work with our model makers to produce professional models. We ve already displayed some of these in our Euston gallery, and the winning Design Studio. of Haringey, Enfield and North East project to provide work experience for construction students.

5 Historical Context Rural Phase 1619 : Clay map of London Tottenham grew up as an Anglo-Saxon settlement at Tottenham Ermine Street, the Roman route from London to Lincoln). Like many villages on the high ground north of London, Tottenham attracted successful Tudor merchants and their country retreats in 1786 : Carey map of London The main road remained in poorly-maintained condition before it s responsibility was transferred to the Stamford Hill turnpike trust to the Seven Sisters, seven elms growing at Page Green. In the numerous charitable institutions, including schools, almshouses, and a workhouse, and were joined by large semi-detached houses the same time south of the Seven Sisters, as was Markfield House on the other side of the road : Seven Sisters The image above shows the clump of trees know as the Seven Sisters, which gave its name to this area in the early nineteenth century and, more recently, to the underground station. Urban Phase 1876 : Ordnance survey Islington and the west end of London with the High Road, creating the triangular plot now occupied by Apex House. Access improved 1896 : Ordnance Survey when most large houses and estates were sold for development and the last open fields disappeared. This period saw the first development of the site of Apex House, shown as having been covered with terraces of small houses. leading up to the first World War, with new and electrified tram the building of large scale public housing estates : Ordnance Survey Activity between the wars included slum clearance, road widening, continued after the war with redevelopment of earlier estates and the terraces on the Apex House site were undamaged in the war, and remained intact. Current Situation 2014 : Ordnance Survey opened with the stations at Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale. by Grainger in order to bring forward suitable redevelopment of Apex House that will provide much-needed new homes for the borough as well as a new retail and public space.

6 The Site Today Tottenham Green Tottenham Green is the focal point of the northern end of the local high street, containing a group of magnificent listed civic buildings including Tottenham Town Hall, the former Tottenham High Road The area of Tottenham High Road between Tottenham Green substantially wider pavement, underground station and large frontages, with shop windows and pavement cafes. There are several groups of mature trees both within this area and extending north and south that give it a distinct character. Apex House The Apex House site is bordered by a group of mature trees that link it to Page Green Terrace on the other side of the and Seven Sisters Underground Station which the Planning Authority of the London Borough of Haringey believe should be developed in a consistent and uniform manner in order to maximise the potential for a high-quality regeneration of this area.

7 SEVENS SISTERS ROAD A Vision for the Area It is our intention to bring forward a landmark development for Tottenham that will deliver Haringey s vision for the area and that provides substantial benefits to residents of and visitors to this important part of the borough. Development on the Apex House site has the potential to reinforce the importance of the junction of Seven Sisters Road and Tottenham In addition the new development should reinforce the southern end of the High Street of the Seven Sisters Regeneration Project, development at Seven Sisters Underground station. The long awaited Seven Sisters Regeneration, Sisters as well as provide new shops for independent businesses focal point for the community. The Apex House development can be a catalyst for further regeneration of the Tottenham area.

We believe our proposals have the potential to realise this vision so that the site can be recognised as a landmark location in the borough. It would also provide a number of significant benefits including new homes, flexible commercial space, a new public realm and better connectivity through Seven Sisters Underground station, not only for the local community but for the wider borough as well.

8 Planning Policies Haringey Urban Character Study This document was produced to analyse the existing conditions and areas for opportunity within Tottenham to improve the design of major buildings within the Seven Sisters area. Tottenham Strategic Regeneration Framework for the future for Tottenham. It outlines the key strategies that will be used to revitalise Tottenham and perform the overall regeneration plan for the borough. The site is designated within Site Specific comprehensive mixed use development. or a site in need of a landmark building. recommendations : Opportunity to mark the important node (where Seven Sisters Road and the High Road meet) with an elegant, slim tower that can successfully mark this activity node. This tower could rise to circa 20 storeys but would need to form part of a lower rise (4-6 storeys) perimeter block and care taken to ensure wind vortexes are not created around its base, negatively impacting upon the public space. The High Road is a sensitive, historic street where heights should respect the existing scale and grain of between 3-4 storeys with perhaps one or two recessed additional floors. New development should also respect the pattern of building widths which gives the street its visual interest. character : High Road - along its length there is a near continuous (though with breaks) run of ground floor shops, cafes, businesses etc. - often with residential above. This stacking of uses gives the High Road its intensity, vibrancy and character. Along sections there are a number of splendid rows of townhouses (Page Green Terrace) as well as some poorer quality modern residential buildings that fail to successfully address the High Road.
