Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Hello, 

Apologies if this topic is discussed elsewhere. 

What are the parking conditions for the new Colina Road flats development? 

Apparently Hackney council is building flats with no access to residential 

permit parking!? 

Thank you.

1. Building housing without parking spaces is far from new, some properties around Kings Cross [Islington Council] even have covenants preventing residents from owning cars.

2. Cannot see any recent Haringey Planning Application for Colina Road. Colina Mews has a couple this year.

Perhaps you mean this large development on the Hawes & Curtis site on Green Lanes which backs onto Colina Road or very nearly:

Enquire of the developers [  https://hadleypropertygroup.com/properties/590-green-lanes ] or of the architects (Pollard Thomas Edwards), I suggest.

Covenants against car ownership sound too good to be true in the case of Haringey council. Here’s to hoping...

Originally Haringey Council said the Hampden Rd development would not have  parking and residents would not be allowed parking permits I have a feeling that they went back on their word

From the application

Residents will have to enter into a permit free agreement to prevent use of the on street permit holder bays within the local CPZ.
On first occupation all households will be offered lifetime car club membership.

Lived in a new-build flat in Tower Hamlets several years ago, and the entire block was prevented from applying for local resident parking spaces. Between three blocks, there were 12 spaces up for ownership/rent. I think this is very common with new build developments, and given how congested the streets already are, makes perfect sense (no matter how frustrating for those residents!).

You'd need to change the parking restrictions for existing residents tho. 

Restrictions that finish at 6pm or that don't apply on weekends will have to be changed to 24/7- 365 and have them Enforced round the clock. Otherwise "no car developments" or covenants would mean very little.

Fair point.

Should be interesting getting that Changed. I live on Boundary for Inner and Outer Wood Green. Weekends are a Joke as people turn up earlier hours to park their vehicles for Free on Weekends. I am sure I read that there was more permits issued than parking Bays. Not forgetting Day Permits.

This will also effect other Tower Blocks being built in the Borough.

I think issuing more permits than there are bays is common practice across all (London) councils, on the grounds that residents will never all want to park at once because some will always be away, at work, etc - a bit like a bank lending more money than it has on deposit because not all customers will want to withdraw their money at once. And of course that worked out so well with Northern Rock, didn't it?

A permit to park on the highway allows you to do so but doesn’t guarantee that you can.  The agreement this developer has entered into is that residents of this development can not obtain resident parking permits.  I would imagine that when the address of the applicant comes up on Haringey's system the application is automatically rejected
