Welcome Apex House Site - Surrounding Commercial Context Welcome to our first public exhibition for the proposed development of the Apex House site on Seven Sisters Road, Tottenham. On display today you will be able to find out information and leave your feedback on the early designs that are being worked up for the site. Grainger has agreed to purchase the Apex House site from the London Borough of Haringey so that a high quality new development can be delivered for Tottenham. Grainger has appointed worldrenowned architects John McAslan + Partners to take forward some early ideas for the site. White Hart Lane We would now like to present our emerging designs to the community so that we can provide an opportunity for you to leave your feedback on the designs that will help inform our plans for the site. It is our intention to carry out a full engagement programme with residents and local community groups through meetings and public exhibitions over the coming months. Once we have reviewed comments from this first exhibition we will come back in the coming weeks with more developed designs, before submitting a planning application to the London Borough of Haringey later in the summer.

It would also provide a number of significant benefits including new homes, flexible commercial space, a new public realm and better connectivity through Seven Sisters Underground station, not only for the local community but for the wider borough as well.

It outlines the key strategies that will be used to revitalise Tottenham and perform the overall regeneration plan for the borough. apexhousedevelopment.co.uk @BUILDING The High Road is a sensitive, historic street where heights should respect the existing scale and grain of between 3-4 storeys with perhaps one or two recessed additional floors. New development should also respect the pattern of building widths which gives the street its visual interest. HEIGHT &ROM THE SECTION @SOCIOECONOMIC AND CULTURAL character’: Opportunity to mark the important node (where Seven Sisters Road and the High Road meet) with an elegant, slim tower that can successfully mark this activity node. This tower could rise to circa 20 storeys but would need to form part of a lower rise (4-6 storeys) perimeter block and care taken to ensure wind vortexes are not created around its base, negatively impacting upon the public space. High Road - along its length there is a near continuous (though with breaks) run of ground floor shops, cafes, businesses etc. - often with residential above. This stacking of uses gives the High Road its intensity, vibrancy and character. Along sections there are a number of splendid rows of townhouses (Page Green Terrace) as well as some poorer quality modern residential buildings that fail to successfully address the High Road.
