- [Green spaces and public realm](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/green-spaces-and-public-realm/): Green open spaces and public realm We heard that many of you support our plans to protect the existing woodland area, while enhancing green and public spaces. We want to deliver an enhanced public realm that works for the community as a whole and has character and public spaces on site.  The names of these spaces are indicative, and we want them to be derived from the local context and community. If you have any ideas, please let us know via the feedback form Our proposals include seven distinct character areas: 1. Station SquareA simple open space, set within the […]
- [Pedestrian and cycle routes](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/pedestrian-and-cycle-routes/): We heard that many station users experience issues around pedestrian safety, as well as difficulties with accessibility. One of the key benefits of reducing vehicle access to the site is that it gives more space for safe pedestrian travel through, to and from the site. This includes new pedestrian connections throughout the site, linking High Barnet station and Barnet Hill with new public realm and open green spaces. By prioritising pedestrian and active travel routes, we can create an environment that is safer, cleaner and more accessible – with improved links to the Northern Line and local bus networks. We […]
- [Parking](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/parking/): Parking We understand that parking is an important issue for the local community. It was the single most common theme during the first round of public consultation. Policy context Local and London policy context dictates that well-connected sites like the area surrounding High Barnet station should have no parking spaces. In line with this policy, our proposed development would remove all of the existing car parking spaces, except blue badge and operational parking. We understand that some of you had concerns about the impact of car parking removal on surrounding streets, particularly from commuter drivers. We’ll be working with Barnet […]
- [Height and massing](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/height-and-massing/): Through a design-led approach to optimise the number of homes on the site and meet the draft site allocation, our proposals follow clear design principles that are sensitive to the surrounding area: The Northern Gateway Building (Building A), the tallest element, will be ten storeys high, positioned where site levels are lower than Great North Road. Its height has been carefully designed to optimise housing delivery, while allowing lower building heights across the rest of the site and establishing a strong sense of arrival at the station. Other buildings will range from five to eight storeys, with stepped heights responding […]
- [New homes](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/new-homes/): New homes The site is allocated for residential development in the draft Barnet Local Plan – representing a significant opportunity to deliver the homes Barnet and London more widely needs. We heard that many of you feel that Barnet requires new homes. Our proposals have been carefully designed to deliver up to 300 homes, 40% of which will be affordable The homes we’re providing will include a mix of private sale, low-cost rent and shared ownership homes in line with Local Plan tenure mix requirements. We are committed to providing outstanding residential quality by integrating the highest standards, including: A […]
- [Our design approach](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/our-design-approach/): Our approach to the High Barnet development is driven by a design-led vision that draws inspiration from the site’s unique setting, history and surroundings.

Accessibility – […]
- [Our conversations so far](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/our-conversationsso-far/): We engaged with around 1000 people during our first consultation, talking to local residents and stakeholders about the site and how the scheme could look. We engaged in a variety of ways, including: Stakeholder meetings Drop-in sessions Community webinar As a result, we learned a lot about what matters most to you and, where possible, have sought to reflect this in the proposals: Parking and accessibility The most frequent questions were about changes to the station parking and how this might affect nearby streets and traffic flow. The approach road was also noted as busy during peak hours with unauthorised […]

Our proposals will be guided by both the opportunities and constraints of the site and by relevant planning policy. Our proposals Within 400 metres of High Barnet Town Centre, our site is brownfield land adjacent to High Barnet station with a high Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) of 4-6a. This means it is very well connected by public transport and well suited to residential development. The site of our development includes the current station car park. The plans will retain operational parking and blue badge parking, however as […]
- [Green spaces and public realm - old](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/green-spaces-and-public-realm-2/): One of the key aims of our masterplan is to celebrate and enhance the existing landscape, drawing the woodland character of the surrounding area into the site. This will include protecting and limiting any impacts on the existing woodland as far as possible, while delivering improvements to the existing public realm and pedestrian routes and creating new places and spaces for residents and the community to enjoy.

The designs prioritise pedestrians, shared and connected green spaces and sustainability to create a vibrant new environment around the station where people want to live, grow and thrive. At High Barnet, we are proposing 40% of the homes to be affordable, helping to address the housing need in the London Borough of Barnet […]

- [Our vision](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/our-vision/): Our vision for High Barnet has been guided by some clear and simple design principles that will deliver high quality new homes, while creating a more open and welcoming place for the local community By focusing on placemaking and designing a series of complementary character areas that draw inspiration from the site itself, we can create a connected and exciting place for visitors and passengers that transforms the site: From hidden and isolated to celebrated and connected The existing station and entrance are tucked away and hidden with no clear accessible, safe routes for access. Our design will celebrate the […]
- [Planning context](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/planning-context/): There is an urgent and significant need for new homes in London and LB Barnet, as identified in the London Plan and the draft Local Plan. The site is allocated for residential development in the draft Local Plan and represents a significant opportunity to build the homes that Barnet and London more widely needs. This offers a significant opportunity to address the hidden and isolated environment on the site and celebrate and enhance High Barnet station through residential-led development. There were previous proposals for up to 300 homes on the site brought forward by Taylor Wimpey and TfL in 2019, […]
- [Our Site](https://highbarnetconsultation.co.uk/our-site/): Our Site The site is located on land adjacent to High Barnet station owned by Places for London. The current station environment is unwelcoming and unattractive. With poor accessibility for pedestrians and vehicles alike, it feels disconnected from the community it serves, with large areas of the site cut off and underutilised. Our proposals will help to transform this site into a connected residential neighbourhood that promotes wellbeing and forms part of the local community rather than sitting apart from it. The area of the site we are developing currently includes the station car park, the area to the south […]
