The Tottenham Physical Development Framework (PDF) has been launched by Haringey Council and Greater London Authority (GLA).
Produced by Arup, the PDF sets out detailed regeneration plans for Tottenham, shows the opportunities for change and makes a number of recommendations for consideration by the public authorities.
The PDF is based on an extensive range of detailed studies, undertaken over the last 18 months, including retail, work space, asset management and energy strategies. The plans includes development of the investment framework across the greater Tottenham area as well as detailed masterplan studies around key areas including the new Spurs football stadium, Tottenham Hale and Tottenham High Road.
Arup worked in the context of a patchwork of existing initiatives and proposals to create an overarching regeneration strategy which is detailed in the PDF. The PDF shows that Tottenham is one of London’s key areas for growth and regeneration. Between present day and 2025, it is anticipated that 5,000 new jobs, 10,000 new homes and more than 1million square feet of new employment and commercial space will be delivered. The scale of the opportunity is expected to be bigger than the Olympic Park.
— Jerome Frost, project director, Arup, said
“Tottenham is already a successful regeneration story, with a £1bn private / public investment programme. The new PDF strategy sets out a realistic but tremendously exciting strategy for how Tottenham can develop over the next decade into a truly exceptional place to live and work.
Arup has worked with multiple partners, including Architecture 00:/, S333, Landolt+Brown, Useful Simple and Jones Lang LaSalle, to prepare the PDF, produce action plans, develop detailed masterplans, facilitate stakeholder consultation, developed retail and workspace studies, and draft asset management plans.
The PDF runs alongside Haringey Council’s Strategic Regeneration Framework, which has been developed in close consultation with more than 3,700 Tottenham residents.
Together, the documents will form a central part of the council and GLA’s pitch to the world’s leading investors and developers at MIPIM between March 11-14, 2014.
