Developer is back with new plans for extra homes on top of blocks of flats
Briefly

Chandos Way and Britten Close Estate in Golders Green seeks to add 15 new homes via a rooftop extension over nine existing blocks. The developer's revised application aims to address past issues regarding design uniformity, height, and bulk criticized for being disproportionate. The planned additional homes include 11 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom flats, with parking for 11 vehicles and cycle spaces provided. However, none of the new properties will be designated as affordable housing, raising concerns from local residents about potential parking pressures and the impact on natural light for existing homes.
The planning application for Chandos Way and Britten Close Estate proposes a single-story rooftop extension across nine blocks, adding 15 homes to the existing estate of 220 dwellings.
The revised scheme has addressed previous concerns about design uniformity, bulk, and height, proposing a structure that compliments the proportionality of the existing buildings.
The new development will consist of 11 one-bedroom flats and four two-bedroom flats, focusing on the high-end market without offering any affordable housing.
Feedback from local resident Gregory Shewan raised concerns about the extension's value to current residents and anticipated increased parking pressures with no expansion of waste areas.
