The Adelphi Point project in Edmonton, London, has been given the go-ahead. It has been claimed that this is the most ambitious development of its kind in the area and has been described as a ‘strong landmark’ by local planners.

It features a 29.5 metre, nine-storey tower attached to a three-storey base. The development will combine 520sqm of ground level commercial space with 24 residential apartments. The Section 106 agreement has now been signed, meaning work can begin as soon as possible. Investland is the chosen developer.

Investland and PARRIT LENG have also incorporated a number of features in the building to bring it into line with the Eco Homes code. Natural ventilation and insulation have been built into the design to cut down on energy demands and solar panels have been incorporated on the roof to provide the building with hot water.

Yuda Amabalo, joint managing director at Investland, said: “The site is a very prominent one in Edmonton, and so we felt it vital to create something that could live up to the needs to the area as it continues to grow. It’s provided some unique challenges with all the issues that replacing an old petrol station throw up.”
