Welcome Welcome to our second public exhibition for the proposed redevelopment of Apex House on Seven Sisters Road, Tottenham. On display you will be able to see our latest proposals for the site and how these have evolved since our initial consultation stage earlier this year. The feedback received from that first exhibition has been extremely helpful as our designs have progressed and we would like to thank all those who have commented on our proposals to date. In July of last year, Grainger agreed the purchase of Apex House from the London Borough of Haringey. Following this agreement, Grainger appointed world-renowned architects John McAslan + Partners to develop some early ideas for the site to provide a high quality new development for Tottenham. We are now presenting our updated proposals to show you what the main comments received were and how these have been incorporated into our new designs. This exhibition forms part of a full engagement programme with residents and local community groups that includes meetings, a public Development Management Forum run by the London Borough of Haringey, and an initial public exhibition held earlier this year. We hope to submit a planning application to the London Borough of Haringey in the summer. We are encouraging further comments on these proposals from the public. You can leave your comments on the designs on display today through a number of channels: • Fill in a comment card and either leave them with a project team member or send them back at a later date to FREEPOST RTRH – ELLC –ERBL Apex House Development Berkshire House 168-173 High Holborn London WC1V 7AA • Send an email to: [email protected] • Telephone our dedicated consultation line on 0800 014 2446 We hope you find this exhibition informative. If you have any questions please do speak to one of the project team who are on hand to talk you through our proposals. apexhousedevelopment.co.uk Context and the site Apex House is located on the corner of Tottenham High Road, a major north-south route that links Tottenham with the City to the south, and Seven Sisters Road that leads to Finsbury Park, Camden Town and the West End. The building has been owned by Haringey Council since 1984. Grainger agreed to purchase the site in July last year in order to bring forward a suitable redevelopment of Apex House that will provide much-needed new homes for the borough as well as new retail and public space. Apex House forms part of a complex of buildings including Apex House, Wards Corner and Seven Sisters Underground Station. It has long been recognised as a key site for the regeneration of Tottenham by the London Borough of Haringey who state the site should be “developed in a consistent and uniform manner in order to maximise the potential for a high-quality regeneration of this area.” It is our intention to bring forward a landmark development for Tottenham that will deliver on Haringey’s vision for the area and that provides substantial benefits to residents and visitors of this important part of the borough.

This development would deliver: • the creation of two new street frontages along Seven Sisters Road and Tottenham High Road – to bring them in-line with neighbouring buildings • a new pedestrian link from Seven Sisters Road to Tottenham High Road • improved safety and security around the site. • the creation of new jobs for the borough throughout construction and operation As part of this proposed development, Grainger and McAslan have also provided an opportunity for the potential relocation of the Seven Sisters Market traders to this site. Grainger is currently in conversation with the traders to understand their desires and to work closely with them to design a workable space for a new market, should they wish to use the site.

To break the massing of the building two contrasting tones of brick are being proposed with a lighter shade of buff brick on the taller building towards to West. The lower elements of the scheme will be clad in a darker red brick that reflects the existing red brick civic buildings that surround the site. Local Materials Local buildings are predominantly brick. The colour and detailing characterise particular periods and types of building. • Yellow brick: London stock brick was common for residential buildings from the late 18th century, as seen on Page Green terrace, to the early 20th century • Brown brick: primarily used in neighbouring terrace houses particularly in the late 20th century • Red brick: mainly seen in Edwardian civic buildings in the early 20th century apexhousedevelopment.co.uk RO COLLESS ROAD Key views VIEW 16 VIEW 15 VIEW 8 VIEW 7 VIEW 1 VIEW 14 VIEW 2 VIEW 13 VIEW 3 VIEW 6 VIEW 5 Apex House Site VIEW 10 VIEW 4 VIEW 12 VIEW 9 VIEW 11 • VIEW 1 South along Tottenham High Road • VIEW 2 South along Tottenham High Road (from the intersection with Broad Lane) • VIEW 3 Northeast along Seven Sisters Road (from Seven Sisters train station exit) • VIEW 4 North along Tottenham High Road • VIEW 5 South from Broad Lane looking over residential terraces • VIEW 6 North east from the intersection of Seven Sisters Road and St Anns Road • VIEW 7 Tottenham Green • VIEW 8 Tottenham Green • VIEW 9 North from the intersection of Tottenham High Road and St Anns Road • VIEW 10 St Ann’s Hospital • VIEW 11 Stamford Hill Station • VIEW 12 Harringay Station • VIEW 13 St Ann’s Road • VIEW 14 West Green Road at West Green • VIEW 15 Downhills Park • VIEW 16 Alexandra Palace apexhousedevelopment.co.uk Environment 22 STOREYS 74 meters 20 STOREYS 68 meters 18 STOREYS 61 meters 16 STOREYS 55 meters 6 STOREYS 24 meters 4 STOREYS 18 meters Artist’s impression of view from Tottenham High Road Key Points: • building height steps back from the street, breaking up the building with the highest tower located at the northern corner of the site • the articulated facade and canopy of existing large mature trees planted along the High Road reduce the impact of the wind at street level surrounding the building • south facing landscaped roof levels provide sunny and sheltered shared amenity space for all residents apexhousedevelopment.co.uk Social Sustainability The scheme will, in accordance with planning policy, be subject to a s106 agreement. The content of which will be agreed with London Borough of Haringey based on the Council’s identified requirements; however, it is likely to include contributions towards affordable housing (on site), employment and training provision and highways and public realm works associated with the development. Environmental Sustainability In addition to energy consumption, the “wider” sustainability strategy will consider: • • • • • • • water management pollution materials waste management biodiversity health & wellbeing sustainability targets The development will be designed to achieve the following standards: • Residential (New Build) – Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 • Retail – BREEAM Excellent Impact Adjacent Residential Accommodation 21 The location of the tower on Tottenham High Road means that there is little additional overshadowing of adjacent properties. This is due to the large width of the road. The buildings are lower on the narrower Seven Sisters Road so do not cause significant overshadowing. G+18 m G+22 61 m To existing buildings opposite Whilst the shadows cast by the tower are inevitably more extensive than those from lower buildings, the orientation of the building is such that they pass very quickly over the surrounding area with the result that there will not be any prolonged overshadowing from the proposed development. Notably, there are no public amenity spaces within the vicinity of the site with the potential to be affected by the proposed development. 5.5 m G+16 G+4 G+20 G+4 G+6 G+6 12 G m 13 m 2 G+ 24 52 m 3m m 9m Key N Amenity Windowless Flank Wall Spring Equinox [21st March] Autumn Equinox [21st September] Winter Solstice [21st December] Summer Solstice [21st June] 09:00 GE RID RID 192-200 206-212 192-200 7-12 AD 1-6 GE 1-6 RO RID B B NE HIGH ROAD HIGH ROAD 13-18 6 79 877 7-12 RO RID NE O ST O ST S S 206-212 206-212 HIGH ROAD RID N TO N TO S GE RO SIS VE SE 13-18 AD 1-6 RS TE N 6 79 877 7-12 RO EB EB N TO S GE AD 7 70 768 RO SIS VE SE 13-18 AD 1-6 RS TE N 6 79 877 7-12 RO RID EB EB N TO 206-212 13-18 AD 1-6 RO RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R AD 7 70 768 RO SIS VE SE 192-200 192-200 GE RS TE N 6 79 877 7-12 AD 1-6 RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R AD 7 70 768 RO SIS SE 13-18 6 79 877 7-12 RS TE N VE HIGH ROAD HIGH ROAD 13-18 AD RO AD 7 70 768 RO SIS VE SE 192-200 RS TE N 6 79 877 206-212 AD 7 70 768 RO SIS RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R HIGH ROAD RS TE N VE SE RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R 192-200 AD 7 70 768 GE RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R 206-212 RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R 12:00 GE 206-212 192-200 7-12 1-6 RO RID EB EB ST HIGH ROAD HIGH ROAD GE RID ON ON ST 206-212 206-212 HIGH ROAD EB EB EB ON ST 13-18 AD 1-6 RO RO SIS 6 79 877 7-12 AD GE RS TE N VE SE 13-18 1-6 AD 7 70 768 RO SIS 6 79 877 7-12 RO RID RID RID RID EB ON ST GE RS TE N VE SE 13-18 AD 1-6 RO AD 7 70 768 6 79 877 7-12 AD 1-6 RO SIS RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R 192-200 13-18 6 79 877 7-12 RO RS TE N VE SE 192-200 192-200 GE RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R AD 7 70 768 RO SIS VE SE 13-18 AD 1-6 206-212 206-212 N 6 79 877 7-12 AD RO RS TE SIS HIGH ROAD HIGH ROAD 13-18 6 79 877 RO TE N VE SE 192-200 RS AD 7 70 768 AD 7 70 768 RO SIS RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R HIGH ROAD RS TE N VE SE RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R 192-200 AD 7 70 768 GE RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R 206-212 RS TE ION SIS AT N ER VE EN SE EG R ON ON ST ST 15:00 Proposed The distances to adjacent properties are: • approximately 61m across Tottenham High Road • approximately 21m across Seven Sisters Road • between the High Road block and houses on Stonebridge Road is approximately 24m • approximately 9m to the back of Seacole Court, and this is a windowless flank wall • across the site any adjacencies below 12m are managed through windowless flank walls to avoid overlooking The wide road mitigates the impact of the tower on adjacent properties.
