Haringey Council’s commitment to high quality development is unambiguous: the Haringey Development Charter states 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’.

Substantial new development, including in Tottenham and Wood Green, is anticipated over the coming years – and the council is making sure that it improves the quality of life of those living and working in the borough, as well as those visiting it. It expects all new development to embrace the principles of sustainable design and to respond positively to the character and setting of Haringey’s neighbourhoods.
