We’ve been wondering what was happening with the empty site behind the bus-stops and the advertising hoardings just down from Beacon Bingo. A planning application was approved by Barnet’s planning committee back in June 2017. We’ve just noticed that permission was finally granted in January 2018; it took until then for the developers and the council to sign a Section 106 agreement. As usual, development has to start within three years of planning permission being granted; a while ago, the developers suggested they’d start within a year of permission but things might have changed since then.
The final grant of planning permission, with various conditions, is here and our brief notes about the plans are here.
