Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
TK Maxx /Arena Parking
There was a four-page discussionhere this week about the planning application re customer parking for the TK Maxx at Arena, mostly predicting traffic meltdown, but there are no comments on the planning application - or at least none showing as of Saturday night.
Really if you think it will lead to problems why aren't you all adding your comments and feedback? Just comment online here.
There's only about a week left to respond, 21 days from posting the notice.

Thanks for the prod, Pam. I was waiting for the traffic plan, but I guess that might be a wait too long.

Interestingly the parking management plan states
'Condition 8 states:
“No development shall proceed until details of parking management within the site have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The development shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details and the car park managed accordingly thereafter”.
Noticed that the front of the site has been walled off leading me to suppose that work has already started inside.

Have just looked at this again. I think I'll save my comments for the traffic management plan.

Am not necessarily against this. Better to have occupied rather than vacant space. Thanks for the planning application link. Will put in comments. Never quite sure what the point of consultation is with large companies since councils can't afford the threat of High Court costs. Sad to note that the applicant company can't spell their own name on the form"Coal Pension Properities Limited".
Main issue is traffic though on busy afternoons walking along from Costa past Argos and Poundland towards Sainsbury's am always struck by the fact that the architects and planners permitted such a narrow space for pedestrians. Also the flank of Homebase on Green Lanes has been an ugly eyesore since it was built. There must be some inexpensive remedial work to soften this harsh front.
Short of further London wide efforts to persuade us all to use our cars less (maybe TKMax staff could take a lead) there's little that can be done. If we weren't so lazy and short of time we would perhaps walk a bit more and use the plentiful public transport. Aside from the fact the area will be intensely congested at weekends am also worried about spill over parking in residential roads as parking enforcement does not seem a deterrent in some of these road. For example the taxi company next to the Beaconsfield Pub constantly park in the small one way section from Green Lanes into Lothair Road North. Should they not arrange to park in Arena space or pay for parking like other residents? Enough. Sun's out. Time to get out more!

when we were having the front of our house painted last year, the painter told us he had been chatting to a couple of traffic wardens in the street, who had told him that they turn a blind eye to the taxis parking in Lothair Road North in exchange for being bought lunch in the local cafe.
this is, of course, all hearsay, and I am very naughty repeating it here.
