The biggest battle is with visitors who think they have every right to park at the back of the flats in front of the garages.

  • The Burroughs and Middlesex University Planning Framework Draft Supplementary Planning Document
    The Burroughs and Middlesex University Planning Framework Draft Supplementary Planning Document 1 Purpose of this Document This draft Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) seeks to support the ambitions of enhancing the educational and civic offer The Burroughs provides to its existing communities in Hendon and as home to Middlesex University. It has been drafted in collaboration with key stakeholders and through engagement with ward councillors and local community representatives. This part of Hendon has a long history with signs of Roman occupation being found in the area. Its unique character has developed over time and it retains elements of that history which are acknowledged by the two Conservation Areas and many Listed Buildings. Hendon Town Hall is the administrative home of Barnet Council and where Council meetings take place. The next 10 years is set to bring new investment, transformation as well as the renewal of buildings, public spaces and community assets, all supported by improved infrastructure. This planning framework provides the context in which the Council seeks to engage comprehensive change delivered through a cohesive strategy. It seeks to enable the delivery of development that provides for the changing needs of the University, while recognising the importance of the residential community and the historic significance of the area. The Council and Middlesex University have the shared ambitions of the University and Hendon becoming a thriving high quality learning environment that enables the entire Borough to capitalise on the benefits through encouraging innovative and creative industries that strengthen Barnet’s economy. The Council and the University are significant landowners in the area and both seek to optimise development opportunities to their greatest benefit.

  • 1 Council Questions to the Leader 15 July 2014 Questions And
    Council Questions to the Leader 15 July 2014 Questions and Responses In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, Full Council Procedure Rules 19.1, the Leader may delegate the responsibility for answering to any Chairman of a relevant committee. Quest ion 1 Councillor Brian Salinger Can the Leader or the Chairman of the appropriate committee please tell Council how much money the council has received from the Government under the New Homes Bonus in each year since it was introduced? Can he please break down the figure by monies attributable to genuinely new homes and to homes brought back into use after being empty for 6 months or more? How have the monies been spent? How much has the council budgeted to receive in 2014/15? Answer by the Leader 1. Actual figures of NHB allocations: Financial Year NHB Income 2011/12 £1,517,737 2012/13 £3,130,519 2013/14 £6,181,453 2014/15 £8,236,314 2. Breakdown of source of NHB income: a) Due to rounding differences, the Council’s NHB model produces slightly different outputs to the official government allocations. But the data and calculated benefits are accurate b) It is also important to remember that NHB is a 6-year benefit, so the allocation from 2010/11 is repeated for the subsequent 5 years as well. This is the reason for the increasing value of the annual allocation until the scheme has been running for a period of 6 years, at which point it will approximately level off in terms of the annual income, provided the Council is delivering at approximately the same level.
