A developer won permission to build 24 new homes on the site of two detached houses despite concerns over affordable housing.
Abbeytown Ltd was given the green light to build flats up to four storeys high at 26 to 28 Brownlow Road, Bounds Green, during a meeting of Haringey’s planning sub-committee on Monday.
The development, on a site where a previous application was denied, will provide 23 flats, with a detached house behind them.
Lack of affordable housing was one of the key concerns of the 50 people who wrote to the council to object – including Hornsey and Wood Green MP Catherine West.
