ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
A GROWING NEIGHBOURHOOD
Clarendon is driving investment and change throughout the surrounding neighbourhood . It forms an important part of the Haringey Heartlands Opportunity Area , one of the largest development opportunities in North London .
Under proposals from the Mayor of London , the Opportunity Area could provide up to 4,500 new homes and 2,500 new jobs , whilst it is also part of the Crossrail 2 North Growth Corridor , which is expected to bring further investment to the area .
As part of the development , St William has created a new pedestrian walking route – Moselle Walk – which reduces walking times to Wood Green station to 8 minutes . Celebrating nature and the outdoors , Moselle Walk creates an ecologically rich walkway that encourages biodiversity to flourish . A number of features including bat / bird boxes , log pile and insect hotels will be incorporated throughout the route to further enhance and support existing wildlife .
The council is also enhancing existing streetscapes and public walking routes surrounding Clarendon . This includes redeveloping Penstock Tunnel , an existing walkway that provides direct access for Clarendon ’ s residents to Alexandra Palace Park and neighbouring Hornsey . The tunnel will be redeveloped with improved entrances , enhanced lighting , new landscaping and a range of artworks .
Additionally , improvements to Mary Neuner Road and Coburg Road will further improve access in and out of Clarendon .
