Developer Argent Related has secured a deal to lead a £1 billion regeneration programme in north London.

Plans for the partnership have been approved by Haringey Council, which will see around 800 homes being developed around the Tottenham Hale transport hub, with Victoria line, National Rail and future Crossrail 2 services.

Other features include new shops, cafes and restaurants and community facilities, including a health centre. Green spaces and better access to both the new Tottenham Hale transport interchange and the Lee Valley Regional Park will also be developed.

Council Leader Clair Kober said: "Our Tottenham Hale programme will create thousands of new jobs and new affordable homes. We are delighted to be working with Argent Related, a partnership which brings together two companies, one with a track record in successfully transforming King’s Cross and the other with extensive expertise in major development."

Robert Evans, Partner at Argent, said: "Argent Related is focused on opportunities, like Tottenham Hale, to work with committed local authority partners to transform urban areas and improve the lives of communities with the right housing and workspace provision, social and community facilities, public infrastructure and other investment."

The partnership is part of a number of major investments in Tottenham, including a £3m refurbishment of Marcus Garvey library and the High Road West development near Spurs stadium, which will see 1,400 new homes built along with new business space and a public square.
