Planning committee

Decided by Barnet Planning Committee on 11 Mar 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Residents objected that the basement accommodation remained unsuitable and that the scheme would harm the neighbourhood’s character.
  • The committee voted 5 to 0, with one abstention, and approved the application subject to a legal agreement.
