Haringey is one of the most diverse London boroughs in terms of both people and place. Substantial new development, including in Tottenham and Wood Green, is anticipated over the coming years, and Haringey is set to be London Borough of Culture for 2027.
The Council’s Development Charter demonstrates its ambitions for sustainable growth, stating that ‘all new development and changes of use must achieve a high standard of design and contribute to the distinctive character and amenity of the local area’.
As part of the Council’s committed to quality, it has worked closely with the Haringey Quality Review Panel since 2015. The panel scrutinises major and controversial proposals, advising on how to meet the Development Charter criteria, and ensuring that all new developments embrace sustainable design, and improve quality of life for all.
The Haringey Quality Review Panel is chaired jointly by Andrew Beharrell, Senior Advisor at Pollard Thomas Edwards, and Esther Everett, Head of Design at the London Legacy Development Corporation.
