The High Barnet Station car park planning application is in!
Places for London (PfL), the partnership of Transport for London and Barratt London that wants to build on High Barnet Station car park, has submitted a planning application to the Council. Members of the public have until 2 September to comment on it. Above is a visualisation by jtp Architects & Masterplanners.
The designs are basically the same as those exhibited in February-March this year. The Barnet Society’s web post on 17 March set out our views on the development. Our conclusion then was that unless our concerns – especially regarding its overbearing scale, alien character, poor accessibility, and loss of almost all car parking – were addressed, the Barnet Society was minded to oppose the plans.
Since then, PfL have reduced the number of homes from 300 to 283 but increased the height of the tallest block to 11 storeys. They’ve also made some other adjustments to the designs of buildings and landscape. We’re scrutinising the 120-odd documents in discussion with Barnet Residents Association. As soon as we’ve come to a conclusion, we’ll publish a more detailed web post.
Meanwhile, you can view the application on the planning portal (reference 25/2671/FUL). The best documents to begin with are the Summary of Proposals followed by the Design & Access Statement (in 8 parts). Have your say via the Comments tab (but you’ll need to register first).
One drawing we haven’t been able to find so far is a single view of the whole scheme, but cut’n’pasting two elevations gives an overall impression of it from Barnet Hill.

Looks good in principle. Current site is a scruffy wasteland so should smarten up the area.
Absolutely against this. Barnet is already overcrowded. The traffic and parking problems will be immense. Aesthetically it will be disastrous changing the vista and character of Barnet. No parking at the station will force people out of the area and make it inviable to commute to work.
No way this is sustainable in the area unless they build an area for new doctors. Barnet as it is is full. I also have to mension vulnerable people’s access to the station.
Oh my goodness . This is horrendous, another blot on the landscape to be seen for miles around. Where is the infrastructure to support all these dwellings? Doctors for one example.
Please keep me updated
The proposed development is out of keeping with high barnet. The flats are too high and unsightly. The loss of car parking is misjudged as it is the end of a line station and many people rely on the station parking.
This will push people to park in surrounding areas.
The area is over polluted so this will add to the fumes. Please don’t build here.
I am opposed to this development as I feel it is very ugly and overbearing. It’s not in keeping with the surrounding area. Where are all these people going to park there cars, go to the doctors, dentists, schools. Where will all the commuters park?
There’s so many flats in these proposed blocks, being crammed in, will they be affordable for young people, probably not!
I’m not opposed to something being built there but not these.
