Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Planning Permission Enforcement Complaint - HELP!
I have a tricky one..
We have recently moved into a new house where the neighbors are tenants living in multiple rooms, including we think, the living room. We are not sure how many there are but they have constructed a space outside of the extension on the back of the house made of wood and bright blue tarpaulin where a couple of them sit most nights drinking/talking, although its never late into the evening. Naturally we are worried about the summer when we wish to sit outside our garden in the evenings... but even now its a complete eyesore .
We've checked the planning application requests and obviously one was never made so I want to lodge a complaint, HOWEVER we will be knocking down our current conservatory to extend our kitchen; although there will be no side extension so it should be pretty straightforward getting planning permission... that is IF we then don't get the landlord trying to reject it based on our complaint..
Has anyone else experience something similar?

There are NO licensed HMOs on Glenwood Road, but I guess they wouldn't have needed to be until this year, as they're all 2 storey.

All HMOs in certain wards (west Green is one of them) require a license as per Haringey's Article 4 direction.
There are strict criteria depending on the number of rooms, the size of the property and the number of floors, etc. You should bring the issue to the attention of the Council ASAP and maybe try and speak to the landlord if they are open to discussion.
If the place is licensed but the tenants are causing issues then you need to report it and talk to the landlord since he/she hold a licence which unlike planning permission can surely be revoked.

Thought I'd let everyone know that after a visit from the enforcement planning dept and a letter to the owner they have now removed the structure. We were away last week and came back to see it gone. So in this instance, it does pay to complain.
