Why Highgate (Haringey)

Highgate (Haringey)'s housing pattern shapes the design

The borough-level guide to planning drawings in Haringey sets out how the same work is handled across the rest of the authority.

Highgate (Haringey) is Georgian and Victorian villages. The dominant stock — georgian villas, victorian terraces — has specific constraints and opportunities for planning permission drawings. Side returns sit better on bay-fronted Victorian terraces than on detached 1930s semis. Mansards work where the existing roofscape supports them. We design to the block, not the brochure.
