The Planning Sub Committee of Haringey Council met on Monday 27 July 2026 to discuss a range of planning applications and receive updates on major proposals. Key items included the noting of reports on applications decided under delegated powers and major proposals.

Applications Decided Under Delegated Powers

The committee received a report detailing planning applications that had been decided under delegated powers between 1 May 2026 and 30 June 2026. The report, authorised by Catherine Smyth and led by Ahmet Altinsoy, was noted by the committee. These decisions covered a wide range of applications across all wards, including full planning permissions, householder applications, tree preservation order consents, and lawful development certificates. The majority of these applications were approved with conditions.

Update on Major Proposals

The committee received an update on major proposals within the borough. This included information on applications that had received a resolution to grant planning permission, subject to the finalisation of Section 106 agreements, applications that were under assessment, and proposals at the pre-application stage. The report, authorised by Rob Krzyszowski and led by John McRory, was noted by the committee.

Notable items included:

• Warehouse Living proposal – 341A Seven Sisters Road / Eade Rd N15 (HGY/2023/0728): Members noted a resolution to grant planning permission, subject to the signing of a legal agreement, with negotiations ongoing.
• 157-159 Hornsey Park Road, N8 (HGY/2024/0466): Members noted a resolution to grant planning permission, subject to the signing of a legal agreement, with negotiations ongoing.
• Ashley House and Cannon Factory, Ashley Road, Tottenham Hale, N17: Pre-application discussions were ongoing, with the applicants briefing and presenting the scheme to members on this date.
• YMCA, 184 Tottenham Lane, Hornsey, N8: Pre-application meetings had taken place, and the Quality Review Panel had reviewed the proposals. The applicants were presenting the scheme to members on this date.

Pre-Application Briefings

The committee received pre-application briefings on two significant development proposals:

• YMCA Crouch End, 184 Tottenham Lane, Hornsey, London, N8 8SG (PPA/2025/0025): This proposal involves the demolition of the existing YMCA building and its replacement with a new, modern facility providing 174 bedspaces of hostel accommodation, along with landscaping and parking. The applicant, YMCA London City and North, has engaged in pre-application discussions with Haringey Officers and Ward Members. The Quality Review Panel had provided feedback on the design, recommending further refinement to better reflect the building's civic role and prominent high street location.
• Ashley House and Cannon Factory sites - Ashley Road, Tottenham Hale, London, N17 9LZ (PPA/2026/0004): This pre-application proposal covers two sites. The Ashley House site involves the erection of two new buildings: a part 7, part 24-storey building with approximately 530 co-living studios, and a 6-storey building with 87 affordable Social Rent homes. The Cannon Factory site proposes one or two new buildings: a part 8, part 10-storey hotel with around 150 rooms, and a part 10, part 25-storey building with approximately 500 Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) units (including 35% affordable student accommodation). Both sites would include commercial and community spaces, new public realm, landscaping, and parking. The applicant, Re:Shape T Ltd, has engaged in public consultation and discussions with Local Planning Authority Officers and the GLA. The Quality Review Panel had supported the developed site layout and massing but recommended further refinement of the design, particularly for the affordable block, and further studies on how the façades and building design can respond to overheating and daylight.

Applications Determined Under Delegated Powers

The committee was advised of planning applications decided under delegated powers between 1 May 2026 and 30 June 2026. The report, authorised by Catherine Smyth and led by Ahmet Altinsoy, was noted.
