Decision details

Stephen McDonald delivered a presentation on progress with each of the large scale regeneration schemes in Barnet, highlighting key facts and current issues with each of the five major schemes, as well as updating on significant recent progress, for example the signing of a Principal Development Agreement for the redevelopment of Dollis Valley and additional funding being secured for Grahame Park.

He stressed how the housing schemes were intended to stimulate mixed tenure communities, and the extent of growth, for example Colindale (including Grahame Park) would see an increase in population equivalent to a town the size of Canterbury.

It was agreed the significance of these changes could not be underestimated and that partners should disseminate the issues further. Mr McDonald offered to deliver the presentation to any management teams to assist.

The Leader of the Council also highlighted that successful regeneration depended on other partners, for example TfL investment in the Northern Line infrastructure to increase capacity.
