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).

And may I remind you all of the regard that Haringey's planning department are held in by some local businesses: The Queen's Head.

Something else odd I've just spotted about this application is that the address given for the applicant's agent is the address of Barnet Council. As far as I'm aware only Barnet Council, and some of it's administrative businesses, occupies Barnet House.
No Tim Simon comes up as being associated with that address, but there is a Tim Simon on Linked In who works for Capita Real Estate and Infrastructure. They have a team who help with planning applications. Could it be that he works out of Barnet's offices. Odd that he should use that address though.
Probably something and nothing, but it struck me as odd.

see Andrews post from Tuesday
''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.''

Thanks. missed that. It's very odd that a council should have set up a business that colludes with clearly unethical attempts to subvert the planning process in another borough. Still I guess if it wasn't Re it would be someone else.
I'm just scratching my head as to why this applicant feels so supremely confident about getting planning permission that they've sold their Edmonton restaurant and sunk a huge amount of money into developing the Harringay one. Something or someone has given them cause to make these decisions. It may just be someone's spied a loophole, or that the reputation of Haringey's planning department to uphold their own policies is so poor. I do hope nothing untoward is going on.

Hello all,
So what are the next steps in all of this? Do we now just sit back and wait for a decision? I've contacted the head of planning and a number of other council representatives but do not appear to of made much progress as they advised the premises has to open before they can take action.. which seems rather bizarre.

Now it's sit and wait for the planning committee to make their decision. What you were told about a brach being unenforceable until it happens does seem bizarre, but as I understand it, this si correct in law. I'm attaching a copy of Haringey's enforcement policy.
If the committee rules against approval, the applicant can appeal to the Planning Inspector - the it's in the lap of the gods. If they approve the application, the only recourse is for residents is costly court action, as is happening in Seven Sisters
