I live in Finsbury House and I'm really pleased to see the new flats set at Council Rent rates for council tenants, rather than the misnomic 'Affordable' or 'Social Rent'. More here:

This has curbed my initial enthusiasm. These will NOT be council homes at council rents. These will be at New homes rent, which is £51 pw higher than normal council rents for a two bed.

Comments have been extended until 03/09/21. Here's the gist of my own objections:
The development of a new 9 storey block just 14 metres from the 14 storey Finsbury House will severely restrict the light levels of the nursery and neighbouring blocks, especially my own. The proximity of the new build will be overbearing, oppressive and will overshadow existing housing. The proposal is sited even closer to the heavily polluted Bounds Green Road which is now permanently logged-jammed with traffic during weekdays due to cycle lanes & Low Traffic Neighbourhood schemes in the area.
Two years of construction will further pollute the area with the heaviest impact plus noise and disturbance borne by Finsbury/Newbury House residents, occupants of the low-rise housing and the adjacent nursery. The privacy of the low-rise residents will also be compromised. There is no provision for increased parking for new residents, and present provision is already over-subscribed, spilling over into residential streets.
The design of the block is incongruous with the architecture of existing buildings in the area, its scale and design out of character with its surroundings. The noise and dirt whilst it is being built and the impact on light and sun which The Cabin Nursery currently enjoys will make the likelihood of anyone wanting to send their child there will result in the loss on amenity which has served local children well for many years.
These are not council homes at existing council rent levels, but rent is set at ‘New Homes Rent’, which is £51 pw higher than normal council rents for a two bed.
