Cllr Jonathan Bloch (Muswell Hill) has welcomed the decision made by Haringey Council to refuse planning permission for the retention of a portakabin for use as a nursery on Crouch End Playing Fields.

The application by North Middlesex Cricket Club was refused by the Council on 6th March 2007 on the grounds that the building was inappropriate, visually intrusive and has potential nuisance for adjoining properties.

Cllr Bloch comments:

“I welcome this ruling and now urge the developers to engage with the local community and to obey planning regulations and procedures”.
