Green street farce
• FROM time to time you have run articles about the proposed development of the site of the old railway club at the top of Little Green Street in Kentish Town.
You quote the developer’s architect as saying that Little Green Street is the only access route available to this site.
Just to rehearse: the furore is to do with the fact that it is proposed to run very heavy vehicles and plant up and down this very ancient and narrow street, with the possible effect that the residents’ houses will quite literally fall down.
In quoting the architect as saying that Little Green Street is the only access route available you are repeating a misleading assertion that can only have come from Camden Council.
Anyone who knows this neck of the woods will see at once that the obvious and commonsensical route for these vehicles would be Ingestre Road; not that I for one moment would wish such a thing upon them.
What has been misunderstood is that the planning inspector who allowed the developer’s appeal never in his judgement, which I have read a number of times, even suggested let alone stipulated that Little Green Street should be the access route.
It is Camden Council who have so stipulated.
The plain fact is that the developer’s appeal should never have been allowed, (it is to Camden Council’s credit that they initially refused the application). It is still incredible to me that the planning inspector, got the width of narrow Little Green Street wrong by one whole metre. Even when he visited in person.
