Hendon Town Hall
Barnet Council has received planning approval for Hendon Hub – the proposed multi-million-pound redevelopment of The Burroughs, the historical area of Hendon.
However, this is simply a statutory notice that concludes the formal legal process, and the council has put the scheme on hold indefinitely.
This week (beginning December 9) residents and other contributors to last year’s public consultation on the Hendon Hub proposals have been notified that planning approval has been granted for the original plans.
In line with the decision previously taken by the council none of the plans will be acted upon and this is simply a statutory notice, that legally must be sent out.
Barnet Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Homes and Regeneration, Cllr Ross Houston, said:
“We engaged with Middlesex University, the local community and residents in Hendon. A decision has now been made to halt the scheme indefinitely.
“As the original proposals were made at a Planning Committee meeting prior to the change in administration, a set of statutory actions were set in motion with the Local Planning Authority, and this notice is one part of that.
“However, I can assure all residents that none of the current proposals will be acted upon. Any plans in the future would only happen following prior engagement with residents and the local community.”
