The proposals for a high rise housing estate at High Barnet Station are to be presented again in a second consultation early next month. Rumours they had been killed off have clearly been exaggerated. Unless the developers are being enigmatic in their newsletter this week it appears the proposals survived feedback from the previous consultation with hardly a scratch. Only the talk of a cyclists's cafe and maintenance shop appear to have succumbed to gravity, a fate apparently being shared by the road on Barnet Hill above it.

To clarify – although the newsletter like the previous consultation uses the same blue green corporate branding as the London Borough of Barnet the council are not the developers. These are in fact Transport for London and Taylor Wimpey acting for the Mayor of London.

This will be the biggest planning issue for High Barnet since the Spires shopping centre.
