Grainger has been granted planning permission to redevelop Wards Corner in Tottenham, north London, following a dispute with residents over a Latin American market at the site.
The UK’s largest residential landlord was given consent for revised plans, which retain the Pueblita Paisa market, after intervention by the mayor of [|London].

Boris Johnson said the market was ‘vitally important’ to the local community. Local traders had also formed the Wards Corner Community Coalition to campaign for the market.

The Wards Corner site, by Seven Sisters Tube station, which covers 1.6 acres, can now be redeveloped into 197 flats and 40,000 sq ft of shops. The consent may yet be subject to a call-in by the mayor in the next two weeks, and is contingent on section 106 agreements.
