AAP5: Conservation and Heritage
A) The Council will seek to deliver growth and regeneration in Tottenham through well-managed and balanced change whilst ensuring historic environments continue to contribute to the needs of local communities. To achieve this aim the Council will seek to strengthen the historic and local character of Tottenham by conserving and enhancing heritage assets, their setting, and the wider historic environment. This includes reviewing Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans where appropriate. Proposals for new development will be required to:
- Reflect, where available and relevant, character and heritage appraisals, statements and management plans for the area and/or heritage assets;
- Identify and positively respond to the distinctive character and significance of heritage assets and their settings, whilst balancing the need to sensitively facilitate neighbourhood regeneration and renewal;
- Maximise opportunities for integrating heritage assets within new development and enhance connectivity between them;
- Put heritage assets to viable uses consistent with their conservation, including through the adaptive re-use of vacant historic buildings, reinstating street frontages and historic street patterns, wherever possible.
