Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Breaking news - Cllrs Kober and Goldberg don't like ugly slabby building design
The news we have been waiting for - at last a dip into the taste of the Dear Leader and her Beloved Follower.
They both object, as Seven Sisters councillors, to the development at Plevna Crescent/Ermine Road: 158 dwellings on the railway embankment, a planning application I flagged up last month. See comment numbers 28 and 29 here.

NB Cllr Kober - "The scheme design is not sufficiently ambitious and does not reflect the Council’s aim of delivering high quality development in Tottenham. Architecturally the scheme is uninspiring and the proposed elevations leave me concerned about mass and bulk."
I am left wondering what 'not sufficiently ambitious' means, it must be not high enough. Add five more storeys Mr Jechiel Smaya Weiser aka Gate of Eden Ltd, and LBH will come to you with a £1.5million sweetener. Probably.

Yup, this was my reaction - I'm very glad they don't support this development and would expect it to come as a bit of a relief to Pam too!

It's arguable that "sufficiently ambitious" and this general language could be seen as subjective therefore a weaker argument which could go to win on appeal. Better to stick to what local policy, NPPF and design guidance says.

I think is rather sad that Cllr Kobar can say things like "the scheme design is not sufficiently ambitious and does not reflect the Council’s aim of delivering high quality development in Tottenham. Architecturally the scheme is uninspiring and the proposed elevations leave me concerned about mass and bulk." when on her NDC role she supported the unloved and unwanted Grainger plan even though the NDC minutes show the NDC committee wanted to stop it
The Wards Corner Grainger plan was panned by the Haringey council design committee, it had no RIBA approval, English Heritage didn't not approve and yet Cllr Kobar supported it. Sad and odd when it seems to have bulk and massing and no proven inspiring architectural merit.

Any links to evidence supporting those statements, Clyde?
