Stroud Green - Planning Applications

yagamuffin

@gardener-joe What old map are you referring to? I used to live above one of the hair shops on SGR and we often felt vibrations through the flat that we thought may have been a train but could never find info of any underground lines going up that way. Maybe the line you are talking about is now underground?<div><br></div>

Flat 4A Woodstock road: That  could be an expensive mistake! What are the odds of the applicant getting this approved?

Arkady

I've made a fuss, as you can imagine.  If it does get approved it will be yet another example of council's unwillingness to enforce its own rules.<div><br></div><div>It's costly in more ways than one - PVC lowers the value of your property and neighbouring properties.  Then there's the environmental cost...</div>

I didn't realise that both Hanley Crouch and Ivy Hall Community Centres are being demolished and replaced with housing:<div>http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/plans_to_demolish_community_centre_for_houses_is_approved_by_islington_council_1_3564446</div>;

Arkady

Don't know much about Ivy Hall, but the loss of Hanley Crouch seems a shame.  It appeared popular, and they were doing some good work.

Sutent

So sad about Hanley crouch

NorthNineteen

But the new (consolidated) community facilities look an awful lot better? And it will improve the environment along Crouch Hill no-end.<br>

Arkady

Oh I'd missed that.  Good point.  And yes, it will be a big improvement to that stretch, even though I'm not that inspired by the design.  The streetscape is a mess around there.

NorthNineteen

Eugh, the design has regressed! The previous one was much better<br>

miss annie

Ivy Hall is home to a lot of community projects and is also the meeting place for the local Rainbows, Brownies and Guides.

Arkady

Are you sill involved with the Brownies, annie?  Have they informed you of the transitional arrangements?

miss annie

Had to give up Brownies because I have so little spare time and I started the WI, couldn't do both. They often use church halls but there aren't many locally. The Scouts building on Holloway Rd (more or less opposite Waitrose) was sold last year and is being turned into flats.

Will the Ivy Hall devopment  mean the nice trees  around it will get the chop ?

Arkady

The 'car wash' application looks crap to me.  A single-story glass shanty with no connection to its surroundings. Sure, it beats what's there already, but it seems like a missed opportunity.

NorthNineteen

Agreed, is there a reason why they are not looking at something permenant and more substantial on this sites?<br>

Arkady

Let me roll back on my 'semi-permanent' comment.  The earliest iteration of this application explicitly stated that it was temporary, but the subsequent ones have not.<div><br></div><div>It looks like this L-shaped piece of land is not owned by City North, who own the rest of that block and intend to build something tall there in due course (in between the 22-stories of City North and the 7-stories of JohnJones, one assumes).  Given that, it seems very odd to be proposing something as flimsy as this on the site.  It will just look weird and out of proportion to everything else.  I can only think that they are planning this as a short-term build until surrounding developments push up the price of the land.</div><div><br></div><div>Personally I'm not even sure that corner should be developed at all - it would be better as pedestrian space.</div>

Arkady

Ignore me it definitely is temporary.
