What do you make to the improvements of this vital station?

...The preferred option - potential for delivery in advance of wider estate regeneration

The preferred option illustrated on the previous pages show the recommended layout for the station in the longer term condition, if redevelopment in the High Road West area were to go ahead.

It would be possible to implement the station and viaduct enhancement in advance of more wide-ranging changes around White Hart Lane and the drawings overleaf illustrate how this might be achieved. This is most likely to take place over two stages, in response to the scale of impact on existing residential parking accommodation:

Stage One - New Station and Northern Viaduct Refurbishment:

• Construction of the new station and associated platform connections
• Redevelopment of the arches in close proximity to the station
• Refurbishment of the existing station building as retail or commercial space
• New public realm along the western side of Love Lane, linking the station to White Hart Lane

Redevelopment of the arches and existing station should encourage uses which provide an active frontage to White Hart Lane, aiding passive surveillance on the approach to the station and capitalising on the higher footfalls generated by the new station.

This stage would require acquisition of 9 garages and the dis-used yard space in front of the viaduct. The residential property at the south end of Love Lane would remain in place.
Stage Two - Development of the southern arches

• Refurbishment of the 6 southernmost viaduct arches as retail or light industrial space
• Continuation of public realm enhancements on the western side of Love Lane to meet Whitehall Street
• Acquisition of a further 18 garages

The public house at the south end of Love Lane Estate would remain in place...

What's your stake in this, can I ask? Just you're a brand new member here to ask about a link to a year old report!

I'm local and people who use GA would know the project is starting next month

In all fairness with the Spurs stadium redevelopments and change over to LO, the station merits upgrading.

I certainly didn't know the project was starting next month. I assumed the works were being held up by the dispute between Spurs and the engineering company.

So, good news.

But just as a record of information who is footing the bill for this part of North Tottenham regeneration? Is it NR, TFL, or even Haringey council with its £500 million borrowing guarantee? And how many councils in the country would like to have that?

Was the recommended option taken forward then? Or a modification thereof?
