About the Barnet London Borough Council
With a population of just over 330,000, Barnet is the second most populated London borough, although it is only the fourth largest by area. By London standards, Barnet is relatively suburban, with a population density of just over 4,000 per square kilometre. In contrast, neighbouring inner London borough Camden has more than 2.5 times this level. Historically, the name Barnet is derived from an old English term meaning "cleared by burning", although the London Borough of Barnet is quite dispersed in its nature, with its headquarters in Hendon.
Barnet London Borough Council planning issues
As with any other London borough, Barnet faces development pressures over the constant desire of property owners to build more onto the land they have, with house extensions and medium scale infill development always been popular. Barnet planning applications typically cover a wide range of residential and commercial development of different project sizes, largely on brownfield sites, but with some greenfield development, especially in the north of the borough.
Barnet London Borough Council Planning in the West London context
Barnet has a border running roughly north-northwest, and this corresponds largely with the Roman built A5 / Edgware Road. The northern side of this line is shared with Harrow, whilst Brent sits to the southwest of Barnet.
Barnet London Borough Council Planning Policy
The current Barnet Local Plan includes a suite of Development Plan Documents (DPDs), Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) and design guidance notes.
Core Strategy and Development Management Policies were adopted by the Council on 11thSeptember 2012 as part of the Development Plan replacing the policies in the Unitary Development Plan (2006), with the exception of 13 saved policies (Chapter 12 of the UDP) for Brent Cross and Cricklewood.
The new Local Plan, that will replace the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies, is expected to be examined in pubic in spring 2019 and adopted in autumn 2019 according to the Local Development Scheme 2016 which is also expected to be reviewed later in 2018.
A summary of all the London Borough policies and latest is set out within the policy page.
