Service Charge Meeting - Tuesday 19th August 2008

There is going to be a meeting at The Pumphouse on Tuesday 19th August at 8pm to discuss the recent service charge demands, hopefully answer a few questions, and decide where we should go as a group from here to try and reign in the expenses.

Planning application updates

The Fyfe Building Creche Planning Applications have been rejected by Haringey Council. The main reasons were:

The proposal would be contrary to Policy UD3 'General Principles' of the Haringey UDP (2006). Due to its size and operating hours, the proposed crèche would have a detrimental impact on the residential amenity of occupiers of flats in Fyfe House. There would be similar harm to the amenity of occupiers of the flats in Block E immediately opposite the application site.
The proposed development would result in the enclosure of an external play area, with the consequent loss of 232 sqm of open space, provided for use as public open space and as outdoor amenity space for occupiers of flats in Block F. As such, the proposal would be contrary to policies UD3 'General Principles', OS10 'Other Open Space', CSV1 'Development in Conservation Areas' of the Haringey UDP (2006).
The proposed development fails to provide any off-street parking spaces for use by staff working at the crèche. This would result in pressure on existing on-street parking spaces in the neighbouring area and would be contrary to Policy M10 'Parking for Development' of the Haringey UDP (2006).

You can find the full decision notice and objection comments from the Haringey Planning website - HGY/2008/1041, HGY/2008/1042 and HGY/2008/1044.

There is also still archived information on the wiki.

There was also a recent planning application HGY/2008/1262 to change condition 6 of planning application HGY/2006/1298 - for the building of the Thames Water bromate pre-treatment works. This is so they can work an extra 2 hours every day and even more hours on Saturdays. Unfortunately this application has been approved:

During the hours 1800 - 1930 Monday to Friday and 1200 - 1800 Saturday only internal (housed) works shall be permitted, with no truck deliveries permitted during this time. The applicant shall implement a temporary off-site car park for workers, with associated mini-bus transportation.
