Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Hawes and Curtis Site Redevelopment
I am sure many of you saw the leaflet that dropped on our mats this morning about the redevelopment of the Hawes and Curtis site.
See the scan attached here if not.
There is a lot of development already happening close to us (Woodberry Down), and a lot more to come down the pipe (St Anns, Heartlands) as 'open' and brownfield' sites are identified and (re)developed as part of wider development plans for the borough.
You may have something to say about it, and you can do so at public exhibitions at the Falkland Centre, entrance on Frobisher Rd, by Harringay Passage. Near North Harringay Primary. Friday 5th Feb 4-8pm and Saturday 6th Feb 1-5pm.

"as well as communal green space for residents"No doubt this was added in the hope that some/most would misread..

Personally, I would like a commitment that the mature trees removed illegally some years ago and that were to be replaced and never have been are replaced! I wonder now if this is part of the reason they were removed in the first place...

I will
My comment was less 'someone must do something' (ie, not me), rather, here is one point I have that others may share...

I agree, having had to sit on a bus that took the best part of 40 minutes to get me from Clissold Park to St Anne's Road, I think it's high time the council considered a Congestion Charge for Green Lanes, particularly on a Sunday.
Seriously, where to all these people go to in their cars on a Sunday?

All this industrial/light industrial/retail space that is disappearing in favour of high yield housing makes me think of The Matrix. Our world will just be "housing", WIFI and data centres.

More on the future of this site as a Cycling cafe from last October.

It's a pity that at least the front facade can't be saved.
@John McM I share your concern..

I was under the impression that they would maintain the facade, probably wishful thinking, but I will be along to the meeting to see what is planned

Any one visiting the exhibition might wish to ask why the Hadley group's proposal of 140 new homes is virtually double the amount of 73 residential units as proposed in the LBH 'site allocations DPD' published this month.
Sadly, Justin, there doesn't appear to be any proposal to reinstate the mature trees, but conditions on height appear to be recomended regarding the rear of the site. Six storeys anywhere on site would be out of character with the locality I think. I would be curious to see how the local water quality could be improved as well.
Furthermore, it is worth remembering that recently, it became known that the re-development of the old CAB building on Willoughby Road which had originally received planning permission for 30 units, is now advertising 60 units.
When LBH planning was asked by the LCSP about this, the reply came back - “the developers are not required to submit a further application to increase the number of units to 60 as the principle of changing the use has already been established under the prior approval application”.
The chair of the LCSP noted - "this is a very worrying situation which has obvious implications for many future developments in the area".*
* LCSP minutes January 2016
Hopefully when the Hadley group release more information on February 5th, there will be more clarity.
