@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey that's been my impression given rejection of planning applications in recent years

RT @EssendonPhoto: Living in a hipsta paradise - a choice of ten pink Himalayan salts @ Stoke Newington instagram.com/p/BPkGNMVBkXw/

@lucasford_ @HackneyYIMBY @apearcey quite common to hear about "the guy that owns that, that, this and that one over there"

@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey I'm far from being a planning expert but that's something worth keeping in mind

@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey you may or may not agree with the designation and its implications.

@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey just saying

@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey you ignore Church St conservation area status, which as I understand is there to protect its character

@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey where?

@lucasford_ @apearcey @HackneyYIMBY alternative 'Stoke Newington money'? :) I think such scheme exists/existed in Brixton

@lucasford_ @apearcey @HackneyYIMBY hence focus on coffee and pizza ... I'm guessing

@lucasford_ @apearcey @HackneyYIMBY given small retail space (old Victorian shops) what can you realistically do though?

@apearcey @HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ not sure about whether 'non-designer' but BORN also closed not to long ago. Don't know why.

@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey and then you are less likely to see a chain talking over a small retail space like Jojo did for example

@HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ @apearcey nothing is stopping chains the issue is if they want to merge shops given CS's conservation area status

@apearcey @HackneyYIMBY @lucasford_ hmmmm.. Route 73 Kids toy shop closed a year ago after 18 years. Cited rent hike among other reasons.

@lucasford_ @BeckyRLH @nookshop_uk @apearcey why would you say that? They've only held it since 1587!! ;)

@BeckyRLH @lucasford_ @nookshop_uk @apearcey meant in general about Stoke Newington. Perhaps it's not her job. I really don't know anymore

@lucasford_ @BeckyRLH @nookshop_uk @apearcey I've been her constituent for 15 years and keep my ear close to the ground... heard nothing.

@lucasford_ @BeckyRLH @nookshop_uk @apearcey came 2nd in the last general election in SN if I remember correctly

@BeckyRLH @nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ well, we do have local councillors like @metecoban92 for example.

@BeckyRLH @nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ apparently not. The local post office sorting office gets an annual visit and photo though

@BeckyRLH @nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ I naively thought a local MP gets involved/shows interest in...hmmm... local affairs

@BeckyRLH @nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ I was told once by an official local labour account that there's local councillors for that

@nookshop_uk @lucasford_ @apearcey did the council provide any justification for the hike?

@nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ x.com/stokeyupdates/…

@nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ yes. It's a company that did them every few years.. there's 1995, 97, 07 for CS if I remember correctly

@lucasford_ @nookshop_uk it has had many interesting and colourful chapters throughout the centuries, no doubt about that.

@nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ will do!

@lucasford_ @nookshop_uk @apearcey that's the definition of 'nostalgia' ;)

@lucasford_ @nookshop_uk since the late 80s if I'm not mistaken. The flourishing local piano making industry vanished a loooong time ago

@nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ sounds like something @ghostsigns will be very interested in

@nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ any photos of any of them? Asking for @HistoryOfStokey my alter ego

@nookshop_uk @apearcey @lucasford_ thought you meant at your location unless I'm getting confused right now.

@realnickperry have you seen this? x.com/spencebakery/s…

@lucasford_ @apearcey I'm sure local planning and conservation guru @realnickperry would have something to say about all this :)

@lucasford_ @apearcey I think it's called post-gentrification in the professional literature :-/

@lucasford_ @apearcey as far as I have gathered, a considerable number of commercial properties on CS owned by small number of landlords

@lucasford_ @apearcey those kind of businesses opened because half the shops were boarded up and the rent was cheap

@lucasford_ @apearcey can't help thinking CS is a victim of its own success. Retaining quirky/indie quality of the 90s now? Can't see it.

@lucasford_ @apearcey they lost. There was some interest from M&S, then Soho House for 3 restaurants before they sold their stake in them

@lucasford_ @apearcey do you have an example of another (gentrified) street you would model SNCS after ideally?

@lucasford_ @apearcey happened also with the empty properties on the High St where Sainsbury's were hoping to open a branch

@lucasford_ @apearcey sounds very 80s Stoke Newington :) when it became bohemian, quirky, indie and all that.

@lucasford_ @apearcey as far as I can tell, the council is very reluctant to approve change of use from A1 (shop) to A3 (restaurant & cafe)

@lucasford_ @apearcey did one in 2016 and will the 3rd one this April

@apearcey @lucasford_ pizza express were rumoured to have had a planning app rejected a few years ago to turn the 4 shops to a restaurant

@apearcey @lucasford_ ... was rejected recently

@apearcey @lucasford_ the shops opposite empty lot next to Nando's owned by same landlord as far as I know. Planning app for bar/restaurant

@lucasford_ @apearcey very much so. Moved here in 2002

@lucasford_ @apearcey more than 20 businesses have closed since I took these photos in April 2015 x.com/stokeyupdates/…

@lucasford_ @apearcey me too. That stretch of empty shops is reminiscent of the the 1970s judging by the old photos

@lucasford_ @apearcey the intervention was inevitable :)

@apearcey @lucasford_ some like the new empty shops opposite Nando's are actually council owned

@lucasford_ @apearcey don't get me started :) Heard from people who believe everything went down hill when SN lost borough status in 1965

@lucasford_ @apearcey They were basically my Gola 'dealer' back then before I managed to shake off the addiction!

@lucasford_ @apearcey Clissold Hall?

@apearcey @lucasford_ where @nookshop_uk used to be a nice local shoe shop called Shmooze.. till about 2007(?)

@lucasford_ @apearcey plus landlords that hike the rent. Council is about to revalue the properties in April I've been told

@lucasford_ @apearcey heard from a few about how low footfall during the week and rise in online shopping make it very difficult

RT @nookshop_uk: @spencebakery @StokeyUpdates nice to hear that Mudfoot is still going to be a shop, from what we've heard.

@lucasford_ @apearcey in my experience, given it looks like every employee there has a go on the coffee machine it's a hit and miss

@lucasford_ @apearcey my feeling is that in recent years Church St has become quite toxic as businesses shut down more frequently

RT @apearcey: @lucasford_ @StokeyUpdates a foodhall would be great in the right space. I'd happily never go to whole foods again !

RT @apearcey: @lucasford_ @StokeyUpdates a shoe shop like jimmy's on Essex road would rake it in.

@lucasford_ @apearcey Fox & Pie at 176 Church St just closed down after a year :-/

@apearcey @lucasford_ some historical context x.com/historyofstoke…

@apearcey @lucasford_ is there such thing??

@lucasford_ @apearcey given small size of the commercial properties cannot see anything which isn't a boutique. Would have to be pricey

@lucasford_ @apearcey I meant which alternatives :)

@lucasford_ @apearcey I got the impression the high margin on coffee and pizza is only way business can afford Church St rent now days

@lucasford_ @apearcey such as? Genuinely curious
