WWW.MILLHILLFORUM.ORG.UK 8 HOUSING • Barnet’s Housing Consultation live. Susan Connolly submitted our response! Our work on the housing policy for the neighbourhood plan impacts on other themes within the plan in the following ways: Transport - the impact of housing developments on local roads and the demand for public transport are well-understood. Planning new developments offers opportunities to address local transport issues and the movement of traffic, cyclists and pedestrians around the area. (current deficit) Community Together / Integrated Infrastructure- when developing new housing thought must be given to the impact on the local community and the opportunity should be taken to provide community facilities, such as schools, nurseries, doctor's surgeries and other health facilities, community and youth facilities. Employment / Town Centre - New developments can support the local economy, our town centre and our other local shopping areas. New business might be attracted to the area as part of new developments, creating employment opportunities for households in the area. Housing developments can also create an opportunity to offer homes designed to support home working. In each of these ways these themes are closely linked. Green spaces - Housing developments need to contribute towards new green spaces and enhance the public realm. Developments should promote nature conservation and bio-diversity and provide new trees. Equally existing green spaces need to be maintained and retained for the use of the growing number of households in the MHNF area.

  • Pentavia Retail Park – Development Application – 17/8102/Ful
    PENTAVIA RETAIL PARK – DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION – 17/8102/FUL OPEN Letter – To whom it may concern: The Mill Hill Neighbourhood Forum’s Committee of local Mill Hill & Hale Ward residents has considered this major application carefully and now writes to oppose it on the following grounds: (1) The application does not comply with policies in Barnet’s Local Plan (September 2012). Barnet’s Local Plan is framed by the Three Strands Approach which seeks protection, enhancement and consolidated growth across the Borough (p13). This includes the protection of Barnet’s suburbs and historic areas and concentrating growth within defined areas. The Key Diagram (Map 2, p33) identifies Colindale as an area for Regeneration and Development, the boundary for which is to the west of the M1 Motorway and rail corridor. This is clearly shown on Map 4, p39. The Pentavia site is outside this boundary. The proposals extend the Colindale area of consolidated growth into established low-density suburbs, thus contravening the Local Plan policy. Specifically, Policy CS1 seeks to consolidate growth in clearly defined areas, whilst protecting and enhancing the historic suburban environment. Policy CS5 defines the requirement to respect the local context and distinctive local character, including the natural landscapes of Barnet. (2) The application does not follow guidance within the Tall Buildings Study of London Borough of Barnet (2010). Policy C5 provides clear guidance on tall buildings (considered to be 8 storeys or more) but does not include the Pentavia site in the list of strategic locations as the site falls a long way outside the Colindale Avenue Corridor of Change (Colindale AAP, Figure 4.2, p32).

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.

  • Appendix 1 Draft Greenspace Capital Investment Strategy , Item 14
    Environment Committee: 08 November 2016 Implementation of the Parks and Open Spaces Strategy Appendix 1: Draft Greenspaces Capital Investment Programme The proposed Greenspaces Capital Investment Programme amounts to £105m over a 5-10 year period (transformational schemes will have longer timescales due to funding, e.g. Brent Cross and Heritage Parks projects), detailed throughout this document. This is proposed to be delivered through a split of 56% developer funding, 22% grant funding and 22% LBB Capital Funding (mainly borrowing), and meaning that 78% of the total cost of the programme is to be funded through external sources of funding. The table shows the proposed approach to investment in open spaces to maximise the strategic benefit and funding opportunity from Council investment through both the development reserve and other capital funding (mostly borrowing, but some specific capital receipts). In most cases borrowing proposals have been linked to assets such as pavilions or roads/footpaths, but in a few places the shift towards ‘Natural Capital Accounting’ adopted through the Open Spaces Strategy may need to be utilised to support proposed borrowing.

  • Barnet Plateau
    3. Barnet Plateau Key plan Description The Barnet Plateau Natural Landscape Area is part of a plateau of higher land on the north-west rim of the London Basin. The area extends eastwards to the Dollis Brook through East Barnet, southwards as far as the Brent Reservoir, and westwards to the River Crane. It covers a large and very varied area. The underlying geology is dominated by London Clay, but in the northern (and higher) part of the Natural Landscape Area, the summits are defined by more coarse grained, younger rocks of the Claygate Member, and further south a couple of outlying hills are capped by 3.

These correspond with the underlying Claygate Member on the higher points of the plateau (e.g. High Barnet 134m OD). The plateau slopes within the northern part of the Landscape Area may have been shaped by periglacial erosion following the Anglian glacier advance in the Finchley area to the east. The early settlement cores (Stanmore, Harrow, Hadley and Horsenden) are linked by the extensive urban areas of Barnet, Edgware, Kenton, To the north there are patches of farmland with rectangular fields Further south, the built up areas are frequently punctuated by patches Wembley and Greenford.

  • The Rocky Road As Geological Adviser to the Chiltern Society
    Home Counties North Regional Group FULL-DAY GEOLOGY FIELD TRIP Sunday 7th September 2014, 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. (approx). Pre-Anglian, Stanmore Gravel Formation on the roof of the eastern Barnet Plateau - stratigraphy, sedimentology and human impacts Led by John Wong FGS John Wong, who has been the Field Officer of the Finchley-based Amateur Geological Society AGS) for many years, was surprised that the geology of the Society’s home borough of Barnet had been overlooked in many publications on the geology of London. This prompted John to explore the local geology and his investigations have uncovered an interesting geological and historical story! To date John has led 7 out of a series of 10 field trips looking at the geology of the London Borough of Barnet with the AGS. The Stanmore Gravel Formation caps the whole of the dissected Barnet Plateau and this field trip will look at many aspects of the gravels, from their potential formation as an ancient beach, through to their interesting and varied relationship with human activity, from pre-historic to recent times. John will discuss the stratigraphy and petrology of the gravel, and also provide the opportunity to undertake size frequency analysis of the deposits. The fieldtrip will also examine the distribution of periglacial drift deposits, including Head, and show how soil-type relates to the underlying geology. Localities in this field trip include Monken Hadley Common, Monken Hadley which was the site of famous 1471 Battle of Barnet, the Barnet Museum in Chipping Barnet, the windmill at Arkley, the only peat bog in London at Rowley Green Nature Reserve, and Moat Mount Open Space.
