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).

Indeed a very succinct and rational appraisal of the situation.
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.
On another note, just reading through the planning proposal I'm just wondering how I've missed all these regular cultural festivals that happen in Green Lanes.
I've been to a few street fairs in Green Lanes, but then I have lived here for thirty years.
I've only been here fifteen, I must have missed them.
You should get out more
If they are seeking retroactive planning permission, it should be opposed on good grounds, just as an original application might have been, not just for the sake of opposing it.
As it's difficult to be more than 10 feet away from any such a restaurant at any one time in the borough, and with more opening all the time, with only so many empty stomachs, and all the food basically the same, will the time come when they will have 'killed the golden goose' and it goes the same way as the once burgeoning plethora of curry-houses?.
