A vibrant public space spanning the area from the new Spurs stadium to a revamped White Hart Lane Station is at the heart of the proposals for north Tottenham launched for consultation.

The link will form a buzzing focal point for the area with new homes, businesses and leisure facilities surrounding the new public space – benefiting the community and making the most of increased footfall on match days, when up to 56,000 fans will flock to the area.

Under the proposals, council tenants on the Love Lane Estate would benefit from a range of better and bigger homes built to meet their needs – from energy-efficient houses with gardens, to flats and maisonettes with private shared courtyards.

Haringey Council is calling on residents and businesses to share their views on three broad options for developing High Road West. The proposed area spans the area roughly between Coombes Croft Library and the former Cannon Rubber factory close to the junction with the western side of Brantwood Road.

The most ambitious option for change could bring up to 1,650 top quality homes, 600 jobs and 8,900m² of new open space over the next 15 years, as well as a new community and sports centre, facilities for start-up businesses, and a cinema or bowling alley.

Major improvements to White Hart Lane Station will include moving the entrance to the south, better accessibility and direct access to the new football stadium – making it easier and safer to use for both local people and visitors.

Councillor Alan Strickland, cabinet member for regeneration, said: "Improving north Tottenham has long been a priority for the council. The £430million Spurs stadium project offers us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to kick-start the improvements that local residents have told us they want to see to the neighbourhood west of Tottenham High Road.

"We've been talking to residents and businesses for the last year about the better homes, new jobs and improved community facilities they want to see in the area, and we want to make their ambitions a reality by bringing major investment and change to the area.

"It's really important that people who live and work in the area have their say so together we can build a neighbourhood fit for the future."
