This application has been withdrawn, probably because of the strength of local feeling which led to some 17 objections. Don't relax as the developer will, in all probability, be back with a slightly less greedy scheme in a trice.

Could you live in that space? We need to fight back against the conversion of offices into multiple occupation developments unless they are of reasonable size. Mr Mustard was idling through planning applications when he came across the proposed conversion of 2 Bruce Road EN5, an address just a few minutes walk from his house. A mid-sized office in that location should rent out easily at the right price. He thinks that it is over development and offers units which are far smaller than the proposed conversion of Barnet House which caused such a hue & cry last year and now looks positively spacious.
This is the building in question:
into which it is proposed to stuff nine dwellings. Here is the floor plan for the first floor (don't worry, Dory's does not form part of the redevelopment)
None of those rooms are larger than the hen coop, nor the two downstairs.
If you want to object to this ridiculous scheme, then the application is here.
Recently the plan for a hotel on the market site next door, was rejected. It is illuminating to see their proposed room sizes, which are of course only for short term occupation, not to live in for a long time.
They are typically twice the size of the planned HMO rooms. A HMO is not the best use of this lovely old building. Time for the owner to have a rethink, which they will have to if enough of you object and the council throw it out.
Yours frugally
Mr Mustard
