AAP7: Transport

A) The Council will support future improvements in the levels of public transport accessibility and capacity across the Tottenham AAP area. The Council expects development proposals to:

  • Seek improvements to connectivity and permeability for pedestrians whilst minimising the likelihood of conflicts with vehicular traffic.
  • Consider opportunities for improving walking and cycling across the AAP area, which could include the introduction of a wider cycling and walking network; and
  • Promote where appropriate, traffic calming, pedestrian accessibility enhancements, road safety measures and cycle facilities such as on street cycle parking;

B) Developments proposed within 1km of a proposed Crossrail 2 station should show how they meet the requirements of Policy SA1.

C) Parking provision will be expected to be delivered in accordance with Policy DM32 of the Development Management DPD; and

D) In line with Haringey’s Local Plan policies, the London Plan, the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, the Council will work with its partners to promote and support the delivery of key infrastructure proposals to support the regeneration of Tottenham which are set out in the Neighbourhood Area wide section of this AAP.

E) The Council will support applications which enhance the transport interchange between Tube, train bus, and pedestrian/cycling modes at Tottenham’s transport interchanges.

F) Sites required for the construction of Crossrail 2 safeguarding will be protected as necessary. The Department for Transport and TfL should be consulted with regards planning applications on any formalised Crossrail alignment.

G) In order to maximise the utility of Seven Sisters station, development which can enhance pedestrian and cycling routes to and from the station will be supported.

H) The Council supports the addition of a Cycle Superhighway that runs from Tottenham Hotspur FC to the City, and this will be required to be produced in a manner that adds legibility to the urban realm in this area.
