A CGI of the proposed scheme (Image: Maccreanor Lavington architects) A plan to build flats on the car parks of a suburban Tube station has been resoundingly rejected in a setback for Transport for London’s (TfL) development programme. Councillors threw out plans to build blocks up to seven storeys high at Arnos Grove Underground Station in Southgate at a meeting of Enfield’s planning committee on Tuesday. Planning chiefs at the council had recommended the 162-home build-to-rent scheme for approval, claiming the proposals “align with relevant local, regional and national policy”.
