Save Crouch Hill Station House
Stroud Greeners will know the station house on Crouch HIll, just before you get to the station. This is a historic building and, I think, one of only two if its kind left in London.
Last year campaigning by local residents, and local councillors, meant that a plan to demolish the station house and build on the site were defeated.
I am sorry to report that the owner of the Station House has submitted a new planning application to demolish the building and construct a large new building in its place. This will be discussed by the North Area Planning Committee on 16 March.
Your help will be vital to help save this historic local landmark again.
The most important thing you can do at this stage is to object to the planning application. You can do this by emailing the case officer at Ashley.niman@islington.gov.uk and the chair of the planning committee at Wally.Burgess@islington.gov.uk (please copy me in at Richard.watts@islington.gov.uk). The planning application which can be viewed on the Council’s website (www.islington.gov.uk) by selecting ‘Online Planning Service’ found under ‘Do it’.
It is vital that as many local residents as possible object to this planning application. Each objection makes a big difference.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

A couple of questions...
<ul>
<li>It may be an old building but, why is it historic?</li> <li>It's one of only two of specifically what?</li>
</ul>If I'm going to object I need to know why I'm objecting.
The application is to demolish both the low building and the house behind it and replace them with a modern building that continue the line of shops and runs around the back of Japan Crescent, blocking some of their light.
Yes the low building has been run down by the owner over the last few years, but it is historic because it is one of the very few example left of this kind of building in London. I think the building adds to the character of the area and, along with the Dairy and Japan House, makes up a group of interesting buildings - which is why we pushed for the area to become a conservation area.
This is one of those issues where an email could make a big difference - please do help.
