<br/><br/> Fox action, Seymour/Hewitttag:harringayonline.com,2010-08-04:844301:Topic:1683882010-08-04T21:26:52.062ZAlison Phttps://harringayonline.com/profile/Alison
Has anyone else noticed a little posse of foxes (I think possibly now reduced to one, but I'm not sure about that) who seem to be in one of the Hewitt gardens about four up from the passage heading east?<br />
<br />
I live directly behind what I think it the garden of choice (I'm on Seymour) and must admit the fox is doing my head in slightly as it keeps trashing a particular section of the garden. I've now just given up on it until I can work out a way of keeping the fox out.<br />

I live directly behind what I think it the garden of choice (I'm on Seymour) and must admit the fox is doing my head in slightly as it keeps trashing a particular section of the garden. I've now just given up on it until I can work out a way of keeping the fox out.<br />
<br />
It's very adventurous and regularly comes right up to the back door during the day, which means that we've now got to keep it closed all the time in case it comes in the house. Plus it makes me nervous about letting my son play outside on his own. Both of these are obviously a bit annoying during the summer.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any ideas about either where it lives or what you can do to get rid of them, or at least keep them out your garden. And do foxes eventually move on, or does this mean that the fox will stay in that garden unless the residents of the house do something?<br />
<br />
There was a fairly scary sounding bit of fox action about half an hour ago (ten or so, Wed night) - if you heard that then you're in the area I'm talking about! Hewitt Road Illegal Conversion - The latesttag:harringayonline.com,2009-07-16:844301:Topic:1165622009-07-16T11:31:42.751ZHughhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/hjuk
In a nutshell: About last February I identified 98 as an illegal conversion having noticed that there was significant work going on. The final give away being the addition of 5 gas meters on the exterior of the building. It took be about 6-8 weeks to get the enforcement team in. There then followed a period of about 6 months with me calling the enforcement team every week or so to keep things moving.<br />

In a nutshell: About last February I identified 98 as an illegal conversion having noticed that there was significant work going on. The final give away being the addition of 5 gas meters on the exterior of the building. It took be about 6-8 weeks to get the enforcement team in. There then followed a period of about 6 months with me calling the enforcement team every week or so to keep things moving.<br />
<br />
Originally I kept my head down about it on this site because Patrick Sullivan said that the landlord was potentially dangerous. I've since poked my head above the parapet!<br />
<br />
An enforcement notice was served against the property on the 22nd of October alleging that the property had been converted into 5 self-contained units. The notice came into effect on the 5th of December last year (meaning the owners had until this date to lodge an appeal). The owners lodged an appeal with the Planning Inspectorate on the 2nd of December. Representations were be made by the Council and the Appellant to the Planning Inspectorate by the 3rd of February 2009 and the Inspector made a decision on 8th May against the appellant, upholding the Council's decision..<br />
<br />
I learned of the result in late June by calling up and asking for an update.<br />
<hr/>I've just spoken to the department head at enforcement, Miles Joyce, and got the low-down on next stages. <br/><br/><p>1. The landlord has 3 months from the Planning Inspector's decision to comply. That's up to 8th August.</p>
<p>2. Within 10 days of that date the enforcement team will visit to ascertain whether the breach is still occurring. (We know that it very likely will be).</p>
<p>3. Enforcement will then send a letter giving notice of intention to prosecute with 14 days to contact them to resolve the issue.</p>
<p>4. If there's no contact, the enforcement team then work alongside the legal team to prepare prosecution.</p>
<p>5. If there is a prosecution, we might expect that in Sept/Oct. At the prosecution the landlord could put his hands up and plead guilty and agree to comply. Or, he could plead not guilty and things could drag on.</p>
<p>6. The landlord will then have 3 months to get the tenant out - so let's say end of Jan - plus a further two months to do the remedial work - in other words convert back to a house.</p>
<br />
And what are the sanctions? According to Miles, it seems like at worst it could be £5 - 10,000 + Haringey's costs, which he estimated at between £500 and £1,000. So £11,000 maximum. But here's the sting in the tail. According to Miles if either stages 3 or 5 the landlord agrees to comply, the decision is likely to be taken to waive the fine in favour of compliance and just seek recovery of costs.<br />
<br />
I wonder what the maths of this are:<br />
<br />
1. What would the conversion costs be? £30,000?<br />
2. Rental income for 22 months.<br />
3. 5 rooms at 300 per month? = £1,500 pcm rental income.<br />
4. £1,500 x 22 = £33,000<br />
<br />
My figures are huge estimates. I'd be grateful for better info so we can get the facts right. If they are about right, it seems like on this occasion the maths don't stack up for the landlord. BUT, this conversion was picked up from the earliest possible point (before anyone moved in). If it dragged on another year, does this mean that it would have begun to make commercial sense for the landlord? Do the conversion, risk a small fine but stand a good chance of getting away with it.<br />
<br />
Assuming the illegal conversion is successfully challenged I wonder how much the enforcement of stiff fines would have a deterrent effect? Or, would it make no difference?<br />
<br />
My point in picking this one up and following it through hasn't been about this house; it's been to send a message that any conversion in this road will be challenged and fought. So, don't bother. It's taken up time, but it looks hopeful that we may win through. Have I been "lucky"?
