In addition, plans are in place to build a park, restaurants, bars, cafés, library and learning centre and a public area to host screenings and community events.

The development is the latest in a series of investments in Tottenham which will see £1 billion of public and private backing to create 10,000 new homes and 5,000 new jobs by 2025.

Cllr Alan Strickland said: "This is a project which will transform Tottenham and bring more than 1,400 new homes and thousands of new jobs to the area. Developments like High Road West send a clear signal that Tottenham is London's most dynamic and important regeneration area. The partner we select for this major project will share our vision for a development that brings huge benefits for our residents and businesses for generations to come."

The successful bidder on the development will be announced by mid-2017.
