LONDON N12 A collection of thirty four exquisitely finished apartments with secure underground parking, excellent transport links, great local amenities and green spaces. The Westbury offers the very best of urban and rural living. | 4 Countryside at your backdoor As the name suggests, Woodside Park sits adjacent to a vast green space consisting of woods, grassland and open pastures. Amazingly this urban oasis has avoided development and is now a protected green belt site occupying the valley between Mill Hill and Totteridge. 2 The Westbury sits right on the edge of this open space at the confluence of Folly and Dollis brooks. These streams are flanked by the Dollis Valley Green Walk, a stretch of lush green space that meanders quietly through a series of North London neighbourhoods as it makes its way from Totteridge Village down to the Brent Reservoir. 3 Other local parks include the well kept Victoria Park off Ballards Lane, which offers tranquil spaces on neatly trimmed lawns to relax, unwind and stretch the legs. If you are looking to keep active, the flat and well-surfaced paths are ideal for a morning jog. You will also find tennis courts, a bowling green and sports clubs to join. If golf is your thing, you’ll will be spoilt for choice, with 12 golf courses within a 5 mile radius of The Westbury.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg .
