Jack Goulde of the Haringey Housing Delivery Team delivered a presentation to the Haringey Climate Forum on 4th April 2023:

New Era for Haringey Council Home building – click here

Jack reported that 3,000 homes are to be built by 2031, in context of 12,500 households on waiting list. So far all on brownfield sites though this could change.

The housing is being designed to the highest standard:

• Spacious homes that meet or exceed planning requirements for size and light.
• Homes built with high levels of insulation and energy efficiency.
• Going beyond the planning requirements on overheating assessments and calculating whole life carbon emissions.
• Repurposing, disused buildings for new family sized homes.
• Working towards Passivhaus certification for zero carbon, but not all possible due to orientation
• Also including trees and green spaces, bike storage etc.

See the presentation for details of new homes in Edith Road (Bounds Green), Chocolate Factory (Noel Park), Cranwood House (Muswell Hill), Hale Wharf (Tottenham Hale), Ashley Road depot development (Tottenham Hale) . Haringey will be pioneering a new volumetric, modular construction method at Woodridings Court (Alexandra) for 33 new homes.
