Not just any Thai restaurant, the applicant is the managing director of Rosa’s Thai!

Thanks for putting these here btw, I find them very helpful.

Arkady

It's a little curious to me that it's being allowed to open there, given that the earlier incarnation of OakN4 was turned down as not having a sufficient retail element and undermining the 'Fashion Village' designation of the area. Pleasing though.

And thanks for the nod. I won't be doing it for much longer though, so if anyone wants to volunteer to receive the weekly PDFs and do the copy and pasting...

grenners

Maybe because the government is changing the use classes order so no change of use from A1 retail to A3 restaurant is required. This is to facilitate use of vacant buildings and get rid of fussy council policies which prevent new uses coming along.

Arkady

Mmm. Is that part of the new planning white paper, or something different?

grenners

..... Not sure..... They are merging various use classes into one big use class in which there is no need to apply for permission to change from one to another ... Office, retail, restaurant etc so no change of use application needed to change use. Great news for some locations with lots of vacant units, removes red tape etc.

Looks like a reasonable project as these things go, which will revitalise that corner, but it's a shame that they're not incorporating the two surviving (early) Victorian facades. They're not the most thrilling of Victorian buildings, but they're part of the heritage of the area and nice little clues into its history. 13 Goodwin Street is a real survivor, originally built on virgin farmland when the railway arrived. (Figure 12, showing the age of buildings, is quite wrong for the actual development site, showing post-war buildings as Victorian and vice-versa).

Does this affect the old sorting office building? I passed it a couple of days ago, while investigating developments around the tube entrance, and it’s looking sadly neglected. I hope it gets restored rather than demolished. You don’t do brickwork like that any more.

Arkady

No. It's locally listed. Hopefully it's sympathetically repurposed eventually. It would make a nice bar.

Ali

13 Goodwin Street used to be the HQ of CND

Arkady

Good knowledge Ali!

strolled in and bought tickets to Glastonbury there, back in the day!

Looks like the plans to restore Tower House on Fonthill Rd are proceeding. Look at that restored cupola!

https://planning.islington.gov.uk/NorthgatePublicDocs/00571835.pdf

Looks like the crappy building next door will have a replacement façade to match the older building:

Good stuff.

The direct PDF links didn’t work for me, but if anyone else is interested, they’re in planning application P2021/0326/AOD

LukeG

Nice!!

Fireddo

Just a little bit up the road Honest Burgers has applied to open a venue (corner City North unit between Fonthill and Wells Terrace).

A planning application has also been submitted for a new bar with live music on City North Place, kind of opposite the Picture House. The opening hours seem a bit ambitious and they’ll probably be challenged but the concept seems good, think a Blues Kitchen kind of place.

LukeG

Sounds great.

The more venues we can get (and away from residential roads), the better imho.

I was told by a neighbour this evening that there are planning notices up nearby the garages next to Holly Park opposite the Parkland Walk on Blythwood Road.

Apparently someone wants to tear down the three/four little garages and put up a three-storey townhouse along with basement excavation.

It will interrupt a lovely view of Parkland Walk to be had from around a dozen social housing units on the Holly Park Estate, and change the character of Blythwood Road so near to the Walk.

Can anyone suggest ways to fight this?

rikki

Re last post - have discovered the application
http://www.planningservices.haringey.gov.uk/portal/servlets/ApplicationSearchServlet?PKID=413544
It's a small plot with some protected trees too. The developer lives over in Archway.

LukeG

The redevelopment of the garages is probably a great of thing tbh, that stretch is very run down and could do with a bit of investment.

I think the gist of objections could be on height, but the neighbouring properties are already three stories, so unsure if that would work.

At the end of the day, people need to live somewhere no?

If you're pro improving the housing stock and pro immigration, there's a need for new housing full stop. Otherwise we'll just get more HMOs and more improper dwellings.

Arkady

It looks like it only removes one of those four hideous garages, which is a shame. It's a good place for an in-fill development - that part of Blythwood hardly has a wonderful aesthetic character and the streetscape is rather broken- and for better or worse impact on views is not a valid objection to a planning application. Three stories makes perfect sense there given the (four story) neighbouring houses and the relative height of the plot. My main concern is that the drawings/renders of the development appear to be missing, so whether it's of an appropriate character for the conservation area can't be judged.

rikki

@LukeG I agree re improving housing stock etc, but just not sure another super-expensive 4-bedroom private development really addresses the current issues. There are loads of these recently built around London that simply lie empty as investment opportunities. The kind of skilled/unskilled immigrant labour you might want to attract is not going to be buying this anytime soon.
