<p>I have just picked up on this - really good to see that there has been discussion and that some greenery has appeared - still waiting to see what is going to happen with the plastic ivy! </p>

<p>And now, there is grass and two trees.</p>
<p>I also noticed on the Maidstone road side there are lights on the wall.</p>
<p>I would think they would shine into the houses opposite and up as well.</p>
<p>More light pollution?</p>

<p>An update on No.2 Maidstone road.</p>
<p>A lot of the block paving has been REMOVED. There are now plants around some of the perimeter wall.</p>
<p>There is a lot of soil, where the blocks have been removed, might be a future lawn.</p>

<p>Thanks for the background Richard. I'm afraid I missed the warning on this site that plans were afoot and saw nothing on the highway to alert residents.</p>

<p>Now the building is up the best option for people is to lobby Haringey for the green aspects of the planning permission to be enforced. If there was planting along the side of the railings (which the small green blobs on the drawings suggests there will be) it would looks better to public view. The building could be clad in climbers quite quickly and would also look much better. Likewise if there were shrubs and trees as shown on the drawing.</p>
<p>Permeable paving or shingle is shown in the drawing. The paving doesn't look permeable. If the area is grassed as shown then the landlord will need to ensure its mown and maintained.</p>

<p>I flagged this development to this forum back in February last year and thought it was terrible then. Some thought it was better that the state of the old building. I feared another ugly block wait till it's occupied; then it will be coverd in Satelite dishes...</p>
<p>The place looks cheap and nasty. </p>

<p>For 9 flats no, but on a city / national level this matter is not being addressed. e.g child care is a major problem and the poor structure of childcare support is a MAJOR contributory factor in women not going back to work because it doesn't pay them to go back to work compared to what they get in tax credits blah blah. We are delving into the benefit area here, always a hot topic of discussion, and we don't want to start on this matter.</p>

<p>To summarise, for action, there is an equal and opposite reaction...so if you offer affordable childcare, you relieve the benefit system, if you don't, the benefit system has to be more supportive (and is more costly on a monetary and social level). </p>
<p>The councils are just operating as they have always done and have not addressed the social issues that have arisen over the last few decades. </p>
