AAP2: Supporting Site Assembly

A) The Council will support land assembly to achieve comprehensive development, and will use compulsory purchase powers, only where necessary, to assemble land for development within the Tottenham AAP area where:

  • Landowners and developers can demonstrate that they have:
    • A viable, deliverable and Local Plan compliant scheme; and
    • Have made all reasonable attempts to acquire, or secure an option over, the land/building(s) needed, through negotiation.
  • Comprehensive redevelopment of the assembled site is required to deliver the site’s allocation as prescribed in Section 5 (including the requirements of a Masterplan where stated in the Plan) of this AAP; and
  • The development proposed for the assembled site would contribute to the delivery of the Tottenham AAP objectives.

B) Where compulsory purchase is necessary, applicants will be required to demonstrate how the associated costs impact upon development viability.
