Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Owners of Proposed Triple Restaurant in former Fairline/Class A Premises Finally Come Clean
The owners of the almost complete new restaurant in the former Fairline/Class A premises have been pretending for the last year or so that their project was anything but a new restaurant. They even had their agent come on HoL to protest their innocence with regard to any such move.
Of course anyone with half a mind didn't believe them for a moment and they've now finally come clean and have applied for retrospective planning permission.
There are very sound grounds for objection to this development given in Haringey's planning policy and one hopes that the Council will make proper and fair use of these in making their planning determination.
Local objections, particularly those that can be linked to policy are taken into account and do make a difference. Any resident can object. I am attaching a copy of the LCSP's objection which makes clear which policies can be referenced for your objection.
If you'd like to object, or support, the application, you can do so via the planning pages of Haringey's website here, using the "Comment on Application" button towards the bottom of the page. (EDIT: I made a comment essentially just supporting the LCSP's statement in its entirety).

Indeed a very succinct and rational appraisal of the situation.

The company that prepared the planning document is a little curious. It appears that Re (Regional Enterprise) Limited is a joint venture between Capita plc and London Borough of Barnet. 51% owned by Capita and 49% by Barnet Council.
Seems strange that a council would be involved in a JV dealing with commercial planning applications (although this is obviously outside of their borough) but maybe these things are quite common nowadays.
On another note, just reading through the planning proposal I'm just wondering how I've missed all these regular cultural festivals that happen in Green Lanes.

I've been to a few street fairs in Green Lanes, but then I have lived here for thirty years.

You should get out more

If they are seeking retroactive planning permission, it should be opposed on good grounds, just as an original application might have been, not just for the sake of opposing it.

You're absolutely right Graham. Just opposing the application because it is disliked doesn't cut it. The objection needs to be on planning grounds. One of those would be Haringey's planning policies, especially any specific policies for this bit of Green Lanes. On the idea of a petition I would be careful. A petition is a single objection. While one is good to show the strength of feeling about the proposal it is still important to go on line and register your individual objection. Finally, planning decisions are not based on referendums. 100 objections can be ruled as not being material to the decision if they do not raise the planning and legal grounds the planning officer must consider. It's important to remember that the planning system always favours the applicant, not the objector

People may wish to consider the quote below (from Haringey's Supplementary Planning Document 10) when commenting on the application
Ensuring a Range of Shops and Other Appropriate Town Centre Uses
5.3.12 Where it is possible, within the provisions of the Use Classes Order and the General Development Order, the Council will seek to ensure that there is a diverse range of shopping facilities provided across the borough, from its town centres, through to the smallest shopping parades and frontages. This is to ensure residents can access a full range of shops and services to meet their everyday and longer term needs without resorting to reliance on public transport or car based journeys. Improvements to public transport and promotion of more sustainable modes of travel will contribute to more accessible, vibrant and greener town centres, as set out in SP7.

Also, the LCSP objection letter (attached to Hugh's first post) is very comprehensive if you're looking for inspiration

As it's difficult to be more than 10 feet away from any such a restaurant at any one time in the borough, and with more opening all the time, with only so many empty stomachs, and all the food basically the same, will the time come when they will have 'killed the golden goose' and it goes the same way as the once burgeoning plethora of curry-houses?.
