Planning Applications

  • ASDA announced in a press release on 27th August 2008 that they have applied to the London Borough of Barnet for planning permission. It is understood that the planning department have received documents from ASDA, but that they have not yet registered the application. Until Barnet Council register the plans (and issue a reference number) the application is not 'live'.
  • Tesco have NOT yet applied for planning permission.

Background

In January 2008, Tesco announced plans for a 'Town Centre Regeneration Scheme' in New Barnet. This is in addition to ASDA's development plans at the neighbouring gasworks site in Albert Road. See the timeline of developments in New Barnet.

A Vision For New Barnet suggests what the local residents would like to see in New Barnet.

An archive of documents, including press coverage, related to these planned development schemes is being collected on this site for reference.

If you have any additional news or information, please drop an email to info@newbarnet.org.uk or use the contact form.
