Co-designed improvements to Down Lane Park submitted for planning

Community-led plans to deliver major improvements to Down Lane Park in Tottenham Hale have been submitted to Haringey Council.

You can view a selection of key images illustrating the proposals by clicking hereor you can view the full Planning Submission documents here(the Design and Access Statement provides an overview of the proposals).

After 19 months and 20 co-design meetings between the council and the locally representative Community Design Group, two rounds of independent design review, and two rounds of public engagement, co-designed plans for improvements to the park will be considered by the Council’s planning department.

The proposals include delivery of:

  • a new Community Hub building, café and garden
  • new free to use (unfenced) basketball and netball courts
  • new accessible and inclusive children’s play
  • improved access routes and entrances
  • soft and hard landscaping improvements, including new tree planting, lighting, and seating
  • The proposals cover the most intensively used southern section of the park. The Council’s Planning Applications Committee will consider the proposals early in the New Year 2024.

    Phase 1 improvements to the north-east of the park,adjacent to Ashley Road, do not require planning and will start in January 2024. Details will be published in December.
