Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Evening Standard Photo Call for Planning Objectors
Within the context of a story on the 'restaurantisation' of London's high streets, the Evening Standard has picked up on the story of the planning application by the new restaurant on Green Lanes.
They want to take a photo of a group of objectors for inclusion in the piece and are asking for local people who objected to take part.
Reporter Natasha Salmon and an ES photographer will be at the Bottom of Pemberton Road this evening at 7PM and have requested as many people as possible to make their way there. Look for someone with a camera!
You can contact Natasha on natashasalmon@gmail.com.

Hi all, I'm a local resident but also work for BBC London - I've been following this and wondered whether people might be interested in speaking to me and sharing their views about it? My email is robert.hawkins@bbc.co.uk if you want to get in touch about this or anything else. Thanks!
(Hope this doesn't break any rules, please let me know if so and I'll delete!)

Robert you would be onto a winner in you investigate why Councillor Ali Ozbek and the traders association are turning a blind eye to illegal trading. Both clearly know what is going on and is smells very fishy indeed.

To be fair to the consultants (there's a phrase I didn't think I would type) they prepare the applicantion on the instructions of their client and may well have advised that it iwas likely to fail. It's the client who went ahead and started trading despite being refused permission to do so

I suppose the advantage to a developer is that at least some of the staff are ex-local authority planners so they have a better understanding of how local government works and what's needed to make a successful application. It is though just a money making joint venture company, with some of the profits going to Barnet council, so income is the overriding motivation.
If it works I would imagine that other councils will look to see if they can follow suit. Legally all a local authority needs is a chief planning officer, one qualified person, so the rest of the functions can be contracted out. I wonder if this company also make applications to Barnet council? Bit of a conflict of interest if they do.

We had a nice tasteful community corner brothel back in the 1980s, formerly a tea & coffee emporium when I first moved to Harringay back in the Edwardian era. In the past couple of years it's been overrun by tramps. Did anyone on this forum object to our loss of Harringay tradition, or even draft a letter to the Standard or call in the local BBC man to investigate?

I think the BBC might have been one of the brothels main clients, as perhaps some of the councillors ...

Doesn't look as if they will be in business long anyway. Rows and rows of empty tables when I passed this evening. No sign of customers.
