Selby Urban Village is a major urban regeneration and social housing development in Tottenham, designed to deliver high-quality homes alongside meaningful green infrastructure. TMA was appointed to support the integration of ecological and arboricultural principles across two linked sites located within the London Boroughs of Enfield and Haringey.

The project sought to demonstrate that urban growth and environmental sustainability can be delivered together. From the outset, biodiversity enhancement and tree retention were treated as core design drivers, not secondary considerations. The scheme required measurable biodiversity uplift while maintaining design efficiency within a dense urban context.
