That application (from 2015) has been withdrawn. You want this one :

Also, note that the Friends of Parkland Walk page you link to hasn't been updated from last year (when it was clearly unsuccessful in achieving its aim). There is no longer any need to object to an application for which permission has been granted. You want to look at the (not separately linked) note on their planning page:

Second Construction Management Plan (currently under consideration)

A revised CMP application was received on the 2nd March. This proposal varies little from its predecessor. The 26 ton lorries are to be replaced with large skip lorries. There is still scant detail about the size of vehicles and plant or the regularity of their use. It is still proposed to use the Parkland Walk as access for vehicles and plant machinery. Provisions to ensure the safe passage of pedestrians, cyclists, dog walkers etc are not explained. Concrete will be delivered to the house by a pipe across the path over a period of 10 weeks. The period of works now extends to a minimum of 62 weeks. The Friends believe this development will have the biggest single impact on users for some considerable time and would urge you to place your objections via Haringey Council Planning Services Portal.

Also currently on the front page:

Owner submits new Construction Management Plan to use the Parkland Walk as access for heavy lorries.

The owner of 3 Francis Place has submitted a new Construction Management Plan in support of his intention to develop a small former railway cottage nestling in Parkland Walk

Despite covenants in the deeds to the property that should make this plan unimplementable, the owner is going ahead and hopes to undo many legal restrictions by entering into a licence agreement with Haringey Council.

For more information on this and how you can object, please go to our 'Planning and development' page where you can view the Construction Management Plan, our objections, a copy of a letter of objection submitted by the former Conservation Officer for Haringey, David Bevan, and links to the Haringey Planning Portal where you can lodge an objection.

People shouldn't waste their time with the change.org petition (achieves nothing) but comment directly on the application. Even there, unless the reason for your objection is of a material nature (i.e., there is something in law or in planning guidance that the application violates) it's not going to make a difference other than showing strength of feeling. Don't let that stop you from adding to the strength of feeling that's already evident in the long list of comments submitted.

For anyone who doesn't understand what's going on there, Haringey previously granted planning permission to application 2015/0078, under the condition that a Construction Management Plan be submitted. This is what 2016/0666 does (fittingly bearing the number of the Devil :) ). If you comment, it is therefore worth reading the proposed Construction Management Plan, which is the document that contains the proposals to which |³|MA3K (and, it seems, a skipload of other people) object. (Also at http://www.parkland-walk.org.uk/pdfs/3%20Francis%20Place%20CMP%20rev9%20HGY_2016_0666.pdf)

Proposed comments are outlined in the Friends of Parkland Walk comments:

Personally, leaving aside the issue of the Deeds, which never provide foolproof legal protection (as I understand it, but IANAL), I think Haringey shouldn't have approved 2015/0078, as I think it would have been quite clear back then (partly from the long history) that the site wouldn't be accessible by vehicle except from Holmesdale Road, and irrespective of that it would be of concern for the development not to have vehicular access when finished. Still, I don't know if Haringey had any planning guidance to base a decision on. This is the sort of technical difficulty in an application with which planning committees don't deal too well (assuming it went to committee, which it should have done). I can't imagine that the Deeds the Friends of Parkland Walk talk about would have been considered adequately.

I think that if this Construction Management Plan is not approved, development of the site is probably impossible. Lack of vehicular access is manageable for a smaller development,. but this probably constitutes over-development of the site.

Good luck to those objecting.
