Thank you for the thoughtful and candid response, Luirette. What sort of specific accommodations would you like to see within these proposals that would help to assuage your fears? I suspect that longer journey times in the short term may be inevita…
To their credit, they do mention in the report that they they recognise that some people with disabilities rely on cars and should be able to use them. Which is quite right. The reduction in traffic should be of benefit to you, as it will be for bus…
Ah thanks for sharing that. Looks well put-together - the argument in favour of LTN's is especially well-put. Haringey Council have been rather behind the times on this stuff and it's good to see them catching up.
Good question. Ali may be right. Given the traditional love of discussing new cafe/bar/restaurant offerings I did think people might be getting excited about all the new stuff down at Finsbury Park.
Speaking of which - strong recommend for the new…
Looks passable to me. Commercial below, apartments above is a good principle. Cladding in London stock bricks is good, though I don't much like the design and detailing. It's north of the park so shouldn't lead to overshadowing. Given its surrounded…
I'm curious about this. I read that they can be linked to a radiator/central heating system, but there's some suggestion that the radiators you already have installed may not be the best fit, efficiency-wise. Be good to learn more.
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 …
Yeah it's not as pretty as the Salisbury, so might as well neglect a 200 year old building until it has to be replaced by the taxpayer at great expense. I despair.
It's London stock brick, it's just that's it's dirty and neglected. The long arches are appealing to me. It's historic - the station used to be on it, and its a rare example of a bridge built OVER a cross-cutting railway tunnel. It forms part of a c…
Lots of Albanians in Greece and vice versa. It would be fascinating to me if they are Greeks from Albania though, as I read a lot about that storied people for my MSc. Will have to pop in and ask.
When I was an undergrad I spent two of those three years in actual student accommodation, which was vastly superior to the crappy rental we had to endure in the other year. If all those with second homes put them back on the market people wouldn't h…
I hope they continue to add 'a tax on top of the minimum requirements' until it's no longer worth people being landlords. The consequent redistribution of property would allow an awful lot of people to get onto the property ladder, help to tackle in…
Ah these?

Yeah it's a bit lazy isn't it.
Exposed concrete is never a good idea in our climate. The Wells Terrace bits though - if they're the parts I'm thinking of I suspect they are designed to be hidden when the old station entrance building is redeveloped?
The Goodwin Street stuff - is…
They have a bunch of fake restaurants to order from, that actually are just the dark kitchens. The names are usually very bland. I can't recall names offhand, but if you scroll through Deliveroo you'll find quite a few that don't show up on google m…
