Drop In to some Planning News at Hornsey Town Hotel

FEC have announced dates for drop in sessions to discuss what they plan at Hornsey Town Hotel. You may even receive one of their postcards through your letter box alongside the Lib/Lab/Con/WEP stuff.

They have also informed the Crouch End Neighbourhood Forum that they intend to make a full planning application for whatever it is they intend to make a full planning application for.

This might be considered good news - we, the Crouch End Public will get a chance to comment on whatever it is they propose to do to our beloved Town Hall, the process might be more protracted than their previous proposal (minor changes to the existing permission) so the 'meanwhile' use might go on longer, and presumably oodles of CIL will accrue to Haringey.

Or it might be considered bad news. One of the big advantages FEC had over other bidders for the Town Hall was their planning strategy. Which they have now abandoned. So now we know they are not going to do what they said they were going to do, we have not the faintest idea what it is they are intending to do.
