This isn’t actually in my patch – as is in other half of Haringey – but I thought some local people might wish to put their comments in on the planning application on the garden of a pub called The Fountain in N15. See: http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub3334.html for details and a picture. The Fountain pub is a few minutes walk along West Green Road from Seven Station, N15.

The pub has a large garden – which of course makes it a target for developers. The residents successfully won against the previous plans to flatten the pub and garden on the grounds that the pub was to be classed as a community amenity. Local people then thought they were safe but a new developer has come back with a new plan. The lovely garden has been fenced off; the garden fountain was put in a skip and the garden allowed to decay. A passing resident managed to save the actual parts of the garden fountain from the skip so it can be restored.

Details of the planning application, and the opportunity to comment on it, are on the Haringey Council website.
