Edmanson’s Close

Chocolate factory

In response to a request for an update, officers advised that no recent meetings had been held with the applicant but agreed to chase [action: EW/SM].

Hale Village Tower

Concerns were expressed regarding the design of the tower, particularly over cohesion with the rest of the Hale Village site. Officers advised that the applicant had engaged the services of a renowned architect and that the Council would be seeking a high quality design centred on a slender tower.

Tottenham Magistrates Court

In response to a question, officers advised that the building was listed including protection for the interior cells structure. Potentially the scheme would involve development behind the building.

Highgate train depot

Officers noted concerns raised about the dominating appearance of the industrial fencing.

8-10 High Road

Concerns were raised about the suitability as a location for a tall building within the context of the local area. Officers responded that the site was being considered for a tall building due to its proximity to the tube and being located outside of the viewing corridor to Alexandra Palace.
