The government will consult on new rules to allow warehouses to be turned into homes without planning permission, chancellor George Osborne announced in this week's Budget. So get those skates on Harringay Warehouse folk.
Here's what the budget book says:
1.147 The government has taken decisive steps to improve and streamline the planning system. To support businesses and households further, the government will review the General Permitted Development Order. The refreshed approach is based on a three-tier system to decide the appropriate level of permission, using permitted development rights for small-scale changes, prior approval rights for development requiring consideration of specific issues, and planning permission for the largest scale development. As part of this, the government will consult on specific change of use measures, including greater flexibilities for change to residential use, for example from warehouses and light industry structures,
and allowing businesses greater flexibilities to expand facilities such as car parks and loading bays within existing boundaries, where there is little impact on local communities.
2.250 Change of use (planning) – The government has made changes to the General Permitted Development Order to allow more flexibility between use classes. The government will consult on further changes to allow more commercial uses, such as warehouses, light industrial or certain sui generis buildings, to become homes.

As a light-hearted joke, perhaps on 1 April we should suggest a deal in which Robin Wales the Newham Mayor comes to live in Haringey? As a swap for Claire Kober - Joe Goldberg tossed in for free, of course.
Wait a minute!
On second thoughts ... maybe that's a serious plan?

I'd love to see O'Donovans Waste Management moved to outside the M25. For example. Sorry, people of Hertfordshire.
Pam, have you - with other local residents - ever asked to meet and talk to Jacqueline O'Donovan, the Managing Director about your concerns?
It might be worth a try. If you did, what was the outcome?
