October 2025 Planning Report
Since July, the Association Planning Officer has examined 104 applications, a significantly higher number than the average, mainly regarding small, uncontested domestic projects. No objections have been lodged.
EXISTING APPLICATIONS
- 13 Bedford Road. This is an application to demolish the existing building and erect a new mixed-use development up to five storeys high with commercial uses at ground level, 12 self-contained flats, and a basement plant room. We understand that consent has been granted; however, there is no indication on the planning website to confirm this. We have requested clarification from Haringey.
- 140 Muswell Hill. An application for a Change of Use from Office/Residential to Dog Grooming, Daycare, and Boarding Facility has generated twenty-two objections and one comment in support. The application was refused in July.
NEW MATTERS
- 360 Alexandra Park Road. An application for the substantial re-working of the front garden, including the creation of a crossover and front garden parking. The proposal includes the repositioning of a lamp post, the removal of one car parking space from the CPZ, and the introduction of double yellow lines. The Association will object.
- 25a Dukes Avenue. Development of three garages to create a new three-bedroom house at the basement and ground floor levels. Conditional consent was granted in 2017. We have been informed by neighbours that the developer has started work and that issues have arisen as a result. Unless work had started before 2020, the consent would have lapsed by now. This could be an enforcement issue unless a subsequent consent was obtained. We have found no evidence of a new consent, and the neighbours are unaware of any public consultation.
