When the High Road West regeneration scheme goes ahead it will mean all properties on the Love Lane estate will need to be demolished and new high-quality replacement homes will be built.
We undertook a 6-week public consultation of Love Lane residents about the future housing in High Road West. The consultation ran from 27 March to 5 May 2017.
Tenants and leaseholders were sent an information pack and a feedback consultation form that could be retruned by post or online. Drop-in sessions were held on 4 and 20 April at the Grange and re-housing officers also arranged home visits.
For secure council tenants we carried out a Section 105 (Housing Act 1985) consultation on the ownership and management of the replacement social rented housing in the High Road West regeneration scheme.
For resident leaseholders we consulted on the ownership and management of the new shared equity housing in the High Road West regeneration scheme
The properties included in this consultation were:
- Charles House
- Ermine House
- Moselle House
- 2-32 Whitehall Street
- 3-89 Whitehall Street
- 4-18 Brereton Road
- 2-28 Orchard Place
- 9-39 White Hart Lane
- Kathleen Ferrier Court
Post consultation feedback
Secure council tenants were consulted on who should buy and own the 145 replacement social rented homes on the High Road West redevelopment. Tenants stated that they would prefer Haringey Council to own and manage the replacement housing, because tenants:
- have trust in the council: to respond to issues, to keep things the same and to be accountable
- know where to go to ask for help from the council
- believe the council will keep costs low: by minimising rent and service charge increases
Resident leaseholders were consulted on should own and manage the replacement shared equity housing to be built in the new High Road West redevelopment. Resident Leaseholders also expressed a clear preference for Haringey Council to own the replacement homes, but were interested in whether a Housing Association would have a better offer for them.
