Keston Centre N17 is at the south east side of Downhills Park accessed via Keston Road and houses Haringey Council’s Childrens’ Services, West Green Nursery & the Goan Centre.
Pocket Living the developers propose to build a huge development of 140 flats /houses on the site some up to 4 storeys,dominating this precious green space . Its completely out of character with the area , and will have a detrimental impact on local residents . And developers plan to carve out an area of the Park for access and parking.

Downhills Park Friends’ and residents’ main objections are to:
--the huge development of up to 4 storeys which will dominate our award-winning park
- carving out part of this protected green space currently enjoyed by the public

--the development posing a detrimental impact on local residents’ parking, local services & family lives

- Join us to discuss further action and in making an objection to the planning application, due to be submitted to Haringey Council probably in September 2016 - for details contact Rod on 07584 253699 or rodwells1@hotmail.co.uk
Background In March 2015 Haringey Council’s Local Plan (Planning document) showed a proposed development on this site of 87 dwellings and up to 5 storeys high, and more than 60 residents objected to this.
Then Haringey council sold the land to developers, Pocket Living, despite total lack of consultation of local residents and their protests-which were not even allowed to be heard at the Councils Cabinet meeting . The plan allowed for a proposal of 102 residential units !.
Now Pocket Living are planning this huge development of 140 flats /houses is planned up to 4 storeys and dominating the Park !
BUT Planning permission still needs to be granted at the Council’s planning committee l –possibly in September 2016

Yes, but what's the Conservative view Justin. You are still an active member of the Conservative Party aren't you?

Yes cease and desist please, Philip. Justin has told you several times that he's no longer a member.

Thank you. In any case, I'm not quite sure why anyone's political views would prevent them having a view.

Have they already applied for planning permission? I can't see it on the council's website.

No, the consultation is pre-application.

I think this is the correct link, Justin. I couldn't get the link to the plan to open.

Actually when residents want to start a family they will probably be able to afford more. After two years in a one bed flat I have added value to my property and secured a better paying job. I can now afford to trade up to a two bed if I wanted to start a family. If I was still paying London rents I could not afford this.
That's the whole point of a starter home.

Plus these flats are aimed at single people who'll be living alone. If they were going to start a family then they'd presumably have more than one income.
