Tottenham homes
Tottenham has Victorian and Edwardian terraces off the High Road and around Bruce Grove and Seven Sisters, and the Tower Gardens estate of cottage-style houses built by the London County Council. Terraces take rear dormers and rear or side-return extensions, and a full house renovation often goes alongside them.
The Tottenham High Road Historic Corridor
Haringey groups five conservation areas along the High Road into the Tottenham High Road Historic Corridor. These are North Tottenham, Scotland Green, Bruce Grove, Tottenham Green and Seven Sisters/Page Green. Inside them a side extension, extra roof volume and cladding need planning permission.
Tower Gardens Article 4 direction
Haringey uses Article 4 directions in four conservation areas, Noel Park, Peabody Cottages, Rookfield Estate and Tower Gardens. In Tottenham that means the Tower Gardens estate, where alterations such as new windows and doors need planning permission.
Haringey planning
Planning applications for Tottenham go to Haringey Council. Where a loft or extension is permitted development, we confirm it with a Lawful Development Certificate before work starts.
Tottenham, Wood Green and Walthamstow
Tottenham sits between Wood Green and Walthamstow. See the loft conversion page and the house renovation and refurbishment page for what each job includes.
Sources, checked 29 October 2026: Haringey Council: list of conservation areas · Haringey Council: Article 4 directions · GOV.UK: permitted development rights for householders, technical guidance. Council boundaries and Article 4 directions are checked again for each address before design.
