There is now a book that's just come out about the scheme for the Haringey Development Vehicle by the council, and the campaign which grew up against it from community organisations and residents all over the borough. It's by a couple of researchers from University College, and features interviews with a number of locals whose names you may recognize. If you follow the link below you can read or download a free pdf of the whole book called Disrupting the Speculative City, it's not long. It starts with an explanation of the reasons and interests behind the HDV scheme in the first place, and goes on to describe how the campaign against it was organised and grew, and what led to its eventual success.
