He’s actually a spurs fan but voted against planning permission because there is no social housing in the plans. Tbh I have no idea how we got away with that and actually feels a bit wrong.
Really, I thought that was where the proposed flats next to the hotel came in, plus the health centre and something to do with a primary school as well. That's me surprised and slightly ashamed, I love my football club but not at the expense of ignoring local residents and business'
The club does a lot of good work that it doesn't shout about seems at odds with if what you say is true, unless that is all in. Phase 3.
I genuinely don't know.

Someone spotted it on this thread yesterday, great picture though. Looks like they are doing one or two a day but I expect that to increase.Someone on SSC (Dirtybob) has spotted smoothing of the eaves. He's been completely ignored for some reason but I think it's a great spot! View attachment 38749
that levy look explains it allI know he's labour but why's he wearing red on his first visit to the Spurs stadium!
Spurs have already contributed towards social housing in the area http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/new...-scheme-recognised-in-national-awards-191016/ , but the controversial part of the stadium development was that no social housing was included, not normally allowable but was passed if local authority, the mayor etc all agree it can go ahead without social housing which they did. If the current left wing labour council was in power we probably would not have got the scheme through but the previous councillors mostly now ousted were more favourable to the plans.

something i never really understood......isn't "social housing" the responsibility of the local and central government rather than a private business. Why should any private business be on the hook for social housing whether its THFC or a local kebab shop. Central and local government collect taxes (often vast sums) from businesses and its up to governments to distribute and spend that tax revenue accordingly.
Let’s be honest no true spurs fan would wear red on their first visit to stadium. So he’s obviously a token fan.
In regard to social housing however much I regard Levy for what he’s done on the stadium. I’d imagine if he was brutally honest he’d like to see Tottenham socially cleansed and become the next Islington and home to young professionals. When you’re trying to sell a brand to the states you don’t want images of riotng and social deprivation associated with the same name. I think there’s very very few major developments you could build in london that didn’t have affordable housing. It’s actually quite incredible in a scheme like this how it was passed.
I believe it becomes relevent if there is an element of housing in the development.Not an expert but I think any new developments by private or public bodies need some element of social housing but I can't imagine any developer putting in a luxury block in Mayfair and including social housing. There are reasons for excluding social housing which Levy has exploited, the whole Stratford saga was a ploy to get Haringey & Lammy behind the new stadium development, without Spurs the local area loses millions of income, so basically as with most things money talks in the end.
Spurs own land west of the High Road and may find the new labour council harder to get plans past https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/...ndleases-high-road-west-site/10024888.article , not sure if this link will work it has restricted access.

He probably had to. What is the waiting list for social housing in harringey? Disagreed with lamy aswell but their responsibility is first to the people.
