Dear Dr Beswick,

Your Freedom of Information Act Request Ref: LBH/13164622

 

Thank you for your request for information received on 13 October 2022, in
which you asked for the following:

 

 

 1. Are there any residential blocks which the Council has earmarked for
regeneration or demolition, where you have leased out void properties
to external housing providers and/or directly used the void properties
as temporary or interim accommodation? 

 

 2. If so, how many properties fall into these categories and what are the
names of the residential blocks/housing estates/roads that they are
on?

 

 3. If there are external providers, when did these contracts/leases start
and when are they up for renewal/ending? Who sets the rent under these
contracts/leases and what are they per week? How many properties are
these contracts/leases for?

 

 4. If the properties are directly managed by the council, what are the
rents per week?

 

 

 

My response is as follows:

 

 

Points 1 and 2: 

 

There are blocks earmarked for demolition where void dwellings are used as
TA.

 

These are on the Love Lane estate, which forms part of the wider ‘High
Road West’ regeneration area. Please see the information on the following
link for further details concerning the High Road West scheme:

 

[1]High Road West | Haringey Council

 

 

The blocks making up the Love Lane estate are as follows:

 

• Charles House, Moselle House, Ermine House, 3/39 White Hart Lane, 2/89
Whitehall Street, Orchard Place, Brereton Road, and Kathleen Ferrier
Court.

 

The Love Lane estate consists of 297 properties.  Of these and as of 07
November 2022, 169 properties have been let to ‘Temporary Accommodation’
tenants.

 

 

 

Point 3:

 

There are no external providers managing these properties, they are all
directly managed by Haringey Council.

 

 

 

Point 4:

 

See the attached summary of streets/blocks (including block name if
applicable) and the average rent for the TA dwellings in the block.
