SS1: Seven Sisters and West Green Road District Centre

A) The Council will support planning applications for development within the Seven Sisters and West Green Road District Centre as indicated in Figure 5.4 to promote the positive regeneration of the area.

B) Development proposals will be resisted where they involve the amalgamation of individual shop fronts in order to preserve the historic streetscape rhythm and encourage the retention of smaller units to support opportunities for independent traders.

C) To retain the viability of the shopping area, the primary retail frontages will be adjusted as follows:

  • The primary frontage will be transferred to secondary shopping frontage between 70 to 126a (even) and 51-95 (odd) West Green Road to support the consolidation and intensification of the town centre uses.

D) Active town centre uses including retail, restaurant/café, leisure, commercial or community facilities will be required on all ground floor street frontages;

E) Small floor plate units near the underground station are appropriate to create activity, vibrancy and security;

F) The Council will require the retention of the Seven Sisters Market in the area.

G) The Council will support retention, repair and reinstatement of historic shop fronts and facades, including innovative and creative branding opportunities to celebrate the area’s independent and multi cultural shops;

H) A high quality urban realm will be created around Seven Sisters station.

I) Unauthorised and incorrectly implemented planning consents in the centre will be a focus for enforcement action to ensure that a high quality of design is maintained.

J) Proposals will be required to conserve and enhance heritage assets and their setting - including the Seven Sisters/Page Green, Clyde Circus and Tottenham Green Conservation Areas - consistent with other policies in the plan.
