Some activity has been noted at 175 SN Church St, formerly John’s Garden Centre, which has remained an empty eyesore since 2017. It was recently sold at auction and is listed on Historic England’s ‘Heritage at Risk’ register. It will be interesting to see what happens to it. https://t.co/dMb7YKPhZ6

Cleanup is in progress at 175 SN Church St now. The former garden centre has been empty since 2017, despite an approved planning app in 2019 to bring the small Grade II listed structure back into use, which didn’t happen. It was recently sold at auction; reopening soon hopefully. https://t.co/CSj3XCg96w

Here’s the planning application from late 2019 for the repair of 175 Stoke Newington Church Street, previously John’s Garden Centre. Although the application was granted, the property has remained empty and in poor condition since 2017. developmentandhousing.hackney.gov.uk/planning/index… x.com/StokeyUpdates/… https://t.co/w1VevrvwFb
