New planning application for 1-6 Crescent Mews?

Posted by Alison Miller on July 26, 2025 at 1:39pm in Planning and regeneration

Through the Haringey email planning notification service, I've just received details of what appears to be a NEW full planning application for 1-6 Crescent Mews.

The application is for "demolition of the existing buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide 37 residential units in four blocks (comprising two 3 storey blocks fronting Crescent Mews, a 1 storey block adjacent to Dagmar Road and a 4 storey building to the rear of the site), including 4
accessible car parking spaces, associated landscaping and cycle parking, installation of vehicle and pedestrian access gates and associated
works."

There are no affordable units in the proposal on the grounds that the financial viability assessment means it isn't possible.

End of Consultation Period 22/8/2025

Target Decision Date 24/9/2025

Feel free to amalgamate this with any other 1-6 Crescent Mews threads. I just thought it was better to start a new thread, as Alessandra's thread seems to be about variations to an existing planning permission. Not sure how this new scheme compares with the one for which planning permission was previously granted - I'm not a near neighbour and won't be getting involved further - but thought it best to put the information out on this forum so that people hear about it.

Dear all, after some feedback and conversation on this with some of you, I have written to the Director of Planning and the Chair and Vice Chair of the Planning Committee to ask:
1. The consultation deadline is extended to the end of September to allow local residents to have a fair chance to consider the new application and respond meaningfully
2. Determination is confirmed at Planning Sub-Committee level. I do not understand why determination level is still under review, as this is clearly a major controversial development that cannot be determined by delegated authority. So effectively this is a call-in for the decision to the Planning Sub-Committee.
Nevertheless, as I am not sure when I will receive a response and what the response will be I would encourage all those who can to have a look at the application and provide comments on the portal by the 22/08 and share the link of the application above with your street what's app group and socials. Thank you!

Hi Alison, many thanks for flagging this. I have just posted the officer's response on the other thread on variation of the 2020 planning application and was not aware of this one! You ar eright, this is a new application that removes affordable units. This is from the Planning Statement published in the application:

This earlier approved scheme included the provision of 5 affordable
houses (representing 16.67% by unit and 35.16% by habitable room).
However, due to a significant increase in construction and other
costs associated with delivering residential developments, the site
owner/developer is no longer able to provide the level of affordable
housing contribution previously required through the legal
agreement. As a result, a live application is currently before the
Council (under Ref. HGY/2023/1620) which is identical to the 30 No.
unit scheme, but which seeks to remove the affordable housing
element. At the time of writing, this application is currently being
considered by the Council.

I will ask officers where this leave with current consultation for condition and previos planning application.
