Parklets on Overbury Road

Tenants on Overbury Road have limited access to outdoor space. Some of the units have developed small spaces on the pavement outside of their unit. This creates a tension with Haringey Council due to the obstruction of the public pavement and for tenants with access requirements. Tenants along Overbury Road also have issues with heavy traffic and cars traveling at speed around the corner near Milk café.

This proposed idea is a way to occupy the streets with agreement and permission from Haringey Council via a formal planning application.

Proposed Idea

Using a series of parklets and bin bays along the length of the street will free up the pavement.

  1. Parklets used to create storage solution for bins
  2. Provide seating for tenants to use and socialise
  3. Include more greenery down the street through planting in parklets
  4. Designs of parklets customisable by tenants
  5. Bespoke designs only – no off-the-shelf generic parklet design
  6. To accommodate the parklets will require agreement from Haringey Council highways department to change the street into a one-way route


    The timeline for this project is c.6-12 months due to consultation with Highways, tenants and local businesses. A parklet prototype has been created and is temporarily housed outside ExFed for comment.
