Nearly 2,000 residents have expressed opposition to a proposed housing development in North Finchley initiated by developer Regal. The plan aims to replace existing buildings with extensive blocks of flats, totaling 855 homes ranging from six to 21 storeys. Many locals worry about over-development, the disruption from prolonged construction, and a lack of family-sized homes. Criticism extends to the low percentage of affordable housing in the project. Local MP Sarah Sackman has pledged to support resident concerns and ensure they are heard in the consultation process.
Nearly 2,000 residents oppose plans for a major housing development in North Finchley, arguing it represents over-development and disrupts the community's character.
A petition against the housing development has garnered 1,915 signatures, with residents expressing concerns about building height, traffic disruption, and the need for family-sized homes.
The Finchley Society criticizes the development for not meeting local housing needs, with only 20% of homes designated affordable, below Barnet's 35% target.
MP Sarah Sackman emphasizes the need for local consultation during the outline permission process and insists on balancing housing needs with community integrity.
