About the Project

As part of the bid process, the Mayor of London's office gave all bidders a set of requirements that have to be delivered on the site. The bidders then submitted proposals to show how they would deliver these goals in a viable way and with the greatest possible benefit to the local community. Our proposals have been influenced by community ambitions, and were further informed by conversations with representatives of local groups during the bid process

We’ve been working with the local community and community groups to review the design proposals in order to make sure we create a neighbourhood that local people love too. The feedback we received was used to shape the current proposals, which you can read about in our summary document. Thank you to all of those who contributed!

Some aspects of these proposals are key to meeting the requirements of the Mayor of London's office. However, future aspects are still to be agreed, and we will be working closely with local people, community groups and other stakeholders to develop the proposals.

Our Vision

Here are the key things we propose to deliver at St Ann's New Neighbourhood, in line with the minimum requirements of the Mayor of London's office:

1. We propose to deliver up to 995 homes on the site
   
   
2. Of the 60% affordable homes, 50 will be available to be bought by a community organisation through a time-limited option, for community led housing. Of the rest 60% will be London Affordable Rent, 22% London Shared Ownership and 18% London Living Rent
   
   
3. We will keep the Peace Garden as a publicly accessible part of the development and preserve key features including the Black Mulberry tree
   
   
4. We propose pedestrian and cycle access through the southwest corner of the site to connect with the nearby high street and Harringay Green Lanes station
   
   
5. We will give the London Borough of Haringey an option to purchase half of the London Affordable Rent homes
   
   
6. We will make sure that London Affordable Rent homes on the site are let on lifetime tenancies
   
   
7. We will give the nomination rights of 22 London Living Rent homes to the Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust. 30 homes will also be set aside for older adults’ accommodation
   
   
8. We will ensure that a certain portion of family-sized homes are adaptable for wheelchair users, to help address the shortage of this type of accommodation in the London Borough of Haringey
   
   
9. We will provide a low car development, with 167 car parking spaces provided.

Key design principles

1. Green space first: Enlarging the Peace Garden at the heart of the new neighbourhood, linking into wider ecological connections and protecting biodiversity
   
   
2. Showcasing heritage buildings: Retaining some of the site’s Victorian assets as focal points for the site’s layout and set pieces around the Peace Garden
   
   
3. Connecting with the wider neighbourhood: Increasing permeability is key to making sure that the new neighbourhood is interconnected within the city
   
   
4. Encouraging walking and cycling: Healthy new streets and a new cycle & pedestrian route from Chestnuts Park, across an improved crossing on St Ann’s Road through to Green Lanes
   
   
5. Considering height sensitively: Stepping up from lower edges addressing the surrounding streets, hospital and conservation area to larger buildings framing the peace garden
   
   
6. Varied building styles: A range of house types respond to the various site conditions and provide a mix of types of homes for new residents

Affordability

We understand that the term ‘affordable housing’ can be misused and often confusing. St Ann’s New Neighbourhood will be home to genuinely affordable housing. Read more about the different types of affordable housing rates.
