Tottenham Physical Development Framework: Tottenham Hale
A Plan for Tottenham Hale:
Tottenham Hale is a key area of change in Tottenham, analogous in many respects to Stratford City in East London. It is expected to become a designated District Centre by 2025 and should be promoted as an international transport hub supported by significant investment in public transport. This will build on development already underway at Hale Village as well as capitalise on significant planned investment in transport infrastructure. This investment includes:
• Completion of the Tottenham Hale Gyratory, new bus station and public square at Tottenham Hale Station. This work is scheduled to be completed in by the end of 2014;
• Redevelopment of Tottenham Hale Station;• West Anglia mainline Stratford to Angel Road
upgrade;• The level of investment commitments will
continue to grow developer confidence in Tottenham Hale as the commercial interchange for North London. Other factors that may influence this include:
• potential Crossrail 2 station; and• Stansted Express rail connection and potential
airport expansion.
Interventions in Tottenham Hale will continue to support the aspirations set out in the Tottenham Hale Urban Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document (2006) as well as the emerging Site Allocations Document. Details of the review of the SPD and proposed refresh are contained in Appendix B. This refresh will inform the Site Allocations Document. The short term focus is therefore on:
• Delivery of existing/committed investment at Hale Village and Tottenham Hale Station;
• Delivery of high quality public realm and streetscape improvements through the Gyratory works, including a new public square;
• Using the emerging Site Allocations Document to provide a clear framework for the key development sites, ensuring the building blocks of the District Centre are in place;
the commercial interchange for North London
• Delivery of key development sites including Hale Wharf, Welbourne Centre and the Island Site to support the designation of a District Centre;
• Improving the employment offer along Ashley Road;
• Providing a new through school to support both existing residents and the expected residential growth; and
• Upgrading West Anglia mainline and Crossrail 2 further.
The long term redevelopment vision for Tottenham Hale Retail Park includes a shift away from ‘big box’ retail towards a town centre offer that creates a more vibrant evening economy and includes town centre uses such as restaurants, cafes, hotels, workspaces and some residential. Capturing the benefits of interchange will be dependent links to the wider offer around the station.
As part of the regeneration aspirations a level of employment land should be retained in the area in conjunction with a step change in the employment profile delivered through increased accessibility and profile as a major interchange. Maintaining and enhancing existing industrial employment land on Millmead and Lockwood Estates will facilitate relocation requirements from redevelopments elsewhere in Tottenham as well as maintaining the area’s flexibility to respond to ongoing changes in employment demand. Achievement of the aspirations for this area will happen incrementally and over a sustained period. Given this context, in the short term the focus should be on organic growth and renewal and in the long term to a more mixed development scenario.
South Tottenham will continue to provide a mixed employment led offer with organic improvement as well as specific interventions to provide upgraded workspaces, some live/work units, and management and hub facilities to support the growth of an emerging creative quarter around Fountayne Road.

4. Areas of Change
Towards Markfield Road to the west there may be opportunity for new residential development adjacent to existing community amenities such as schools and small areas of residential infill.
East of the railway lines significant investment has been made in residential development at Hale Village and emerging proposals for Hale Wharf continue to optimise the benefits of fantastic transport accessibility with a waterfront location. The amenity of the Lee Valley Regional Park (LVRP) is a key factor in Totttenham Hale’s capacity for large scale residential development and development around Tottenham Hale should be seen as park of the wider link between the LVRP and the enhanced cultural offer at Tottenham Green. The medium and longer term focus will be on:
• Delivery of key development sites including Ashley Road South, South Tottenham Industrial Estates and Tottenham Hale Over Station Development to further enhance the designation of a District Centre;
• Delivery of the ‘Green Link’ between Tottenham High Road, Tottenham Hale and into Walthamstow Wetlands beyond;
• Enhancing the retail offer at Tottenham Hale Retail Park to create a retail core; and
• Upgrading West Anglia mainline and Crossrail 2.
Longer term interventions are likely to be influenced by a number of factors including the review of future airport capacity by the Airports Commission, which is due to submit a final report by summer 2015; and the conclusions of work currently being undertaken by LB Haringey on its approach to strategic employment land designations and skills and enterprise strategies. Stansted Airport expansion will create significant employment growth and support ambitions to make north Tottenham a potential employment hub in the London– Stansted- Cambridge corridor
Scale of Change
The aspiration for Tottenham Hale includes:
• Designation as a District Centre;
• Construction of around 5,000 homes with a mix of tenure and unit sizes, including re-provision of existing Council homes;
• Creation of up to 4,000 jobs including new B1 offices around Tottenham Hale Station, and an increase in the proportion of creative industries, light industrial, retail and associated food and beverage uses in the area;
• Provision of significant new public open space at Tottenham Hale station;and
• Improved pedestrian and cycle accessibility and visitor amenity in the Lee Valley Regional Park with improved connections between the High Road, Tottenham Green, Down Lane Park and Tottenham Hale Station Square.

Tottenham Physical Development Framework: Tottenham Hale
Characterisation ofTottenham Hale
Tottenham Hale is anchored by Tottenham Hale Station. The station has the best public transport accessibility in the Upper Lee Valley with a significant interchange between local buses, the Victoria Line and National Rail trains into London Liverpool Street and Stratford and north to Stansted, Cheshunt and Cambridge. Planned investment in the transport infrastructure will further improve the transport links.
To the east of the rail line is the near complete Hale Village with 1,176 homes, 1218 units of student accommodation, office, retail, health and community facilities. To the east of this is the Lee Navigation, Hale Wharf and a small business community on the canal. To the east of the Lee Navigation is Hale Wharf and a small business community on the canal.
North of Hale Village are the Millmead and Lockwood Industrial Estates which are designated in the London Plan as Strategic Industrial Land, as well as the Lee Valley Regional Park and an area of allotments which are both in the Green Belt.
North west of Tottenham Hale Station is the Ashley Road area which comprises a light industrial estate leading to the Techno Park, a purpose built office development and Down Lane Park which includes tennis courts and a children’s centre. The Park is used by local schools for physical education classes. To the north of Ashley Road is Ashley Road Waste Depot with Victorian housing beyond.
Tottenham Hale extends west along Monument Way to incorporate the High Cross, Chesnut and Colsterworth housing estates. The area includes Tottenham Hale Retail Park and South Tottenham industrial area (Fountayne Road and Markfield Road Estates) with Markfield Park forming the southern boundary. This area also includes the Rangemoor Road industrial area. The retail park contains the majority of multiple retailers within the Tottenham area, which comprises mainly bulky good retailers although the newer development space includes more variety including Costa Coffee, Boots and Next. The industrial area includes a mix of uses including offices and live work accommodation for artist residences and creative industries.
The area benefits from excellent road access with direct access via Watermead Way to the A406 and Forest Road to the north east. However, the area is currently dissected by a one-way road system – ‘the gyratory’. TfL is currently implementing improvements to the gyratory to make it two-way, improve the pedestrian/cyclist experience and improve the setting of the area. This includes:
• Building a bigger and better bus station at Tottenham Hale;
• Installing more cycle parking at Tottenham and Seven Sisters stations and other key points in the area;
• Creating more crossing points for pedestrians and cyclists and improving existing ones with tactile paving and audible signals;
• Improving the look and feel of the area with mature trees, new seating and upgraded street lighting;
• Creating a new public square outside Tottenham Hale station;
• Improving the setting of the Tottenham High Cross;
• Reducing the impact of traffic on Broad Lane with a 20mph speed limit and more crossing points;
• Introducing two-way traffic on the High Road, Monument Way and Broad Lane;
• Improving how bus routes operate in the area and where bus stops are located;
• Improving interchange at Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters stations between bus services, the Victoria Line and National Rail services; and
• These works have been taken into consideration in development of proposals for this area.

Opportunities and Constraints
Existing opportunities and constraints have informed the changes proposed within the area. They are not presented in any particular order.
Opportunities
1. Use of LB Haringey powers to deliver Station Square West and associated regeneration benefits.
2. Public transport investment including the gyratory improvements, Tottenham Hale Station redevelopment, West Anglia mainline Stratford to Angel Road upgrade and potential Crossrail 2 station development will further enhance accessibility for this area.
3. Proximity to the Wathamstow Wetlands and Lee Valley Regional Park, which is Metropolitan Open Land and one of the largest open spaces in London.
4. Significantly enhance use of the Lee Navigation through a range of initiatives which could include residential boat moorings or enhanced visitor facilities.
5. Gyratory removal underway on Monument Way, Broad Lane etc to improve pedestrian and cycle movements and connection to Tottenham Green.
6. The retail offer at Tottenham Hale Retail Park makes up the bulk of spending in the area. The retail offer should be expanded and diversified to move away from primarily bulky goods to provide convenience and fashion retail as well as a daytime cafe culture and a night time economy.
7. The ‘island sites’ currently have a limited offer primarily focussed on fast food and low grade employment and there is opportunity for redevelopment to enhance the environment to Station Square.
8. The Techno Park is under occupied – opportunity to maximise the use of this asset for businesses or for major investment in
social infrastructure such as education. Berol House also presents an opportunity site.
9. Good strategic road links via Watermead Way providing easy access to Forest Road and the A406 North Circular.
10. Potential expansion of Stansted could put Tottenham Hale at the nexus of the Cambridge-Stansted-London corridor with associated development opportunities.
Opportunities and constraints
11. Limited access to open space and the area is identified as being deficient in open space. Opportunities exist to increase the provision of and to enhance the quality of existing open space.
12. Significant amount of employment land within the area which is protected by London Plan as strategic industrial land, making redevelopment of these areas for non-employment uses challenging. The designation also offers the potential to retain and grow local jobs within Tottenham and support the wealth of existing local businesses.
Constraints
13. Access to the retail park for pedestrians is secondary to vehicular access.
14. A waste vehicle depot restricts north south movements.
15. Watermead Way and the railway lines run through the area. Whilst providing good north-south links they also form a significant physical barrier resulting in severance and constrain future development on adjacent plots of land.
16. The area is subject to flood risk and falls into the Environment Agency Flood Zone 2. All new development proposals must incorporate suitable flood mitigation measures. Figure 4.5.2 -
