A local Stroud Green councillor is jubilant after a proposal to demolish a well-loved restaurant has been withdrawn.

Cllr Ed Butcher had objected to the demolition of the Triangle Restaurant on the corner of Ferme Park Road and Stapleton Hall Road, as the building is in a very prominent location in a conservation area.

Haringey Council’s Planning Department has now revealed that plans to demolish the building have been withdrawn and the owners now plan to keep the frontage of the building.

Cllr Butcher said:

“The Triangle Restaurant is a prominent and well loved building, which really improves the look of the area with all the greenery on its front.I was very worried that its demolition would damage the appearance of the whole area.

“This restaurant is an important part of our community.I hope any new plans for the site are more sensitive and preserve the green feel of the area, which is right next to the Parkland Walk.”
