=Grainger defers plans for Wards Corner= Anna Winston - Property Week (24 July 2008)

Grainger has delayed the submission of plans for its Wards Corner development in Seven Sisters, London, after Mayor Boris Johnson criticised the proposals.
Johnson spoke out against the scheme to redevelop [|London]’s largest Latin American market earlier this week, describing Grainger’s plans as unacceptable.

//‘This much loved market is vitally important to the Latin American community and home to many local traders,’// he said.

//‘The proposed re-development of Ward’s Corner would pull down the market and only offer space to a handful of people, which is unacceptable.’// In a statement today, Grainger said that, despite working on the scheme for four years, it would defer the current planning application for the site to allow further discussions on the future of the market to take place.
