The final draft of a masterplan to overhaul a huge swathe of Tottenham opposite the proposed new Spurs stadium has been unveiled to residents, including a public square with an amphitheatre surrounded by cafes, bars and restaurants.
Haringey Council’s regeneration plans for the area, known as High Road West, have been on the boil for more than two years but are now at an advanced stage, with a final public consultation launched this week.
The vision includes a new library and enterprise centre to replace ones being demolished, and “clusters” of modern homes alongside a 5,000sq metre public space now dubbed Moselle Square - which would also double as Tottenham Hotspur’s controversial “Wembley Way”-style approach for fans arriving from a revamped White Hart Lane station.
Moselle Square would have space for community events and pop-up screenings, and be a destination in its own right for people to meet and relax, said the council.
The masterplan is based on one of three outline plans put to residents and businesses last year, said to have been the most popular option among those who responded.
It was also the plan that offered the most comprehensive and intensive redevelopment of the area - huge swathes of land including businesses and homes will be demolished.
In their place, some 1,200 new homes, including family houses with gardens and flats and maisonettes with private courtyards, are proposed, alongside a new park running north-south (roughly in line with the High Road junctions with Brantwood Road and Northumberland Park) in the heart of a completely new residential quarter, including children’s play space an outdoor gym.
White Hart Lane station’s entrance will also be relocated to the south to link up with Moselle Square. A number of purpose-built industrial units will offer space for start-up businesses to grow, and “a better mix of shops” on the High Road are also promised.
The masterplan covers a huge 11 hectares, stretching between Tottenham High Road to the east and White Hart Lane station to the west.
