Tottenham Hotspur’s new football ground will be a "catalyst for regeneration" in the area which will see the promotion of homeownership in a new residential development in North London, according to Haringey Council.
The stadium got the green light back in February but came under fire after Haringey Council dropped the requirement to provide any affordable homes as part of the £400m scheme due to an already “high concentration” of the tenure in the area.
Today the council unveiled its vision for Tottenham from now to 2025 which includes the regeneration of Northumberland Park, Severn Sisters and Tottenham Hale.
The council says the new £400m stadium will spearhead the regeneration of Northumberland Park which will become a leisure destination for North London and will create 285 new homes.
The plan reveals the new residential development will focus on “promoting home ownership” to create a “better balance" of housing in the area.
It adds that “existing housing will be refreshed providing new homes for residents”.
Also included in the plan is the comprehensive redevelopment of Wards Corner, a landmark building at Seven Sisters, which will bring 40,000 sq ft of retail space, including space for the reprovision of the Seven Sisters market and up to 196 new homes.
The Wards Corner redevelopment has also courted controversy for including no social or affordable housing.
Tottenham Hale, meanwhile, will become a new town centre and deliver 4,000 new jobs, 5,000 new homes and a wide range of community and commercial services by 2025.
In her forward to the plan, council leader Claire Kober said: "It is critical we continue to build confidence in Tottenham as a place for all to invest in. Working with the Mayor of London we have secured the commitment of almost £1bn of investment through major developments in Northumberland Park and Tottenham Hale."
