  • Maximise site opportunities;
  • Provide appropriate links to, and benefits for, surrounding areas and communities;
  • Provide the necessary infrastructure; and
  • Be in accordance with the full range of the Council’s planning policies and objectives.

The Council will promote development in the following Areas of Change:

  • Tottenham High Road Corridor; and
