Stroud Green - Planning Applications

Arkady

Proper Pseud's Corner BS.  It identifies a stack of aesthetic problems, in the most flowery and obscurantist language, then proposes a solution that does nothing to remedy those problems.

<P>The site used to be  a National Petrol Station.</P> <P>Geteting rid of the old tanks and associted polution must be costly and maybe prohibative to any developmnet on the site</P>

Wow that planning application is the most nonsensical thing I have read for ages on this site. Hmmm maybe not that long actually...

Given that the Railway is to be Starbucks, I'm sure we can all visualise the new front. I saw what appeared to be original ceilings and rafters on the upper floors midway through the works. It was lovely. All covered up again now.

Benmyring and Miss Annie, fortunately Brownies will be moving to the Cape Centre at the top of Crouch Hill- not sure how long for.

It's going to be quite big isn't it.  I think the building looks really good, design seems quite posh too.<br>

Shop-front design.<br><br>Building was gutted and extended vertically so definitely not the original building.<br>

Arkady

It amused me slightly that they failed to show the new floor on those elevations.  They have been quite respectful of the architecture of the building, perhaps because they seem to be under the impression that it's in a conservation area.

Every time you reply to anything I say you always come across so picky - either that or it's just paranoia.<br>

Not sure if I caught you on a bad day but I was not intending to be bitchy or have a slanging match with you - life is far too short for that.

<b>LOWER STROUD GREEN ROAD GENTRIFICATION ALERT</b><div style="font-weight: normal;"><b><br></b></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">I'm not sure I'd ever even noticed that there was a dry cleaners there.  Is it actually open?</div>

Art and crafts seems to be very popular on SGR now. 

NorthNineteen

Yeah, it's set-back a little between the Chinesse take-away and wonderfully named 'Save Off License' - as though it's pre-empting it's future loss....<br>

graeme

The guy in the SnowWhite shop said that the dry cleaners at no. 28 didn't actually do any cleaning, he just took it in, then took it up the road to SnowWhite.

NorthNineteen

I thought most dry-cleaner didn't actually do any cleaning but sent it off to outside London/industrial estates where the cleaning takes place on a bigger scale?<br>

miss annie

Lower Stroud Green Rd already has Season, John Jones and Park Theatre (almost). It started gentrifying ages ago!

Arkady

But crafts and vintage homeware is surely on a whole other level.  I'm not even sure what it means.  Is it like the stuff they try to sell in the old garage by the Stapleton?

Sutent

Annie - don't forget the delicatessen that no one can afford to buy from

I saw lots of people in the deli yesterday - seems to be doing okay.<div><br></div><div>Regarding prices, I think it is interesting that some people think that £4 for a piece of cheese or other deli deliciousness is horrendously expensive and only for the bourgeoisie, whereas paying £4 for a pint of beer or lager in one of the pubs is sort of okay.  Similarly, people will happily spend over £2 for a cup of coffee, but think that paying over £2 for a loaf of bread is a rip off. </div><div><br></div><div>How much is a pint of beer in the pubs round here now anyway?
