Housing strategy and policies
Barnet’s Housing Strategy sets out our exciting and ambitious plans to improve both the supply and quality of housing in the borough, and achieve our ambitious commitment to our residents:
“…to ensure that everyone in Barnet has an excellent quality home in which they would choose to live in a sustainable, safe and welcoming community.”
Building upon our Housing Strategy, we have developed a visionary planning framework through our three-strand approach:
- protection for the green belt and green spaces
- enhancement of the existing successful suburban environment by ensuring that any development in these areas is appropriate and complementary
- growth through major regeneration schemes in Cricklewood, Colindale and Mill Hill and the regeneration of our largest council estates.
This will support and enhance the qualities that already make Barnet such a popular place to live, with its extensive green spaces, vibrant town centres and classic suburban environment.
