<p>I went just after 8pm, all locked up and lights out unless there was a sneaky side door I missed. I felt a bit cheated as I thought the consultation was open until 9pm. It still looks massive and will still tower over everything else. It should not be any higher than other blocks in the immediate vicinity. Traffic will also increase. </p>

I've just been to the consultation this evening. I am rather concerned that there hadn't been a greater attempt to make local people aware of tonight's event.<br />
<br />
The development is still 9 storeys at its highest and has reduced to 76 units (from 80) plus some work units. To address the parking issue there is some underground parking now included but only available to the larger units. The building has been softened slightly and scaled down but not much.<br />

<p>I've just been at the consultation open house. The planning application has been changed in two principal ways:</p>
<p>1. 32 parking spaces will now be proved under the development</p>
<p>2. The somewhat brutalist design has been softened. Below are the new drawings:…</p>

<p>I don't think it's much to do with the Council Tax receipts, James. The main reason is that the planning system is heavily biased towards developers and gentrification. With removal and displacement of some poorer people; or subdividing homes into hutches for others.</p>

<p>The phrase "fizzing capillaries" stuck in my mind from "Hale Village": that out-of-scale out-of place bunch of tower blocks uglifying the River Lee, near the reservoirs and Tottenham Marshes. But there were many more meaningless gems. Like "state-of-the-art", "future-proofed", "revitalised", and "sustainable".</p>
<p>I strongly recommended that people take a copy of the Tottenham Hale Urban Centre Masterplan to some secluded corner nearby, to relax and fully enjoy its inspirational poetry.<em>(Tottenham Hale ward councillor)</em></p>
