Sadiq Khan has allowed councillors’ decisions on plans for the Homebase site in North Finchley and the Whalebones estate in High Barnet to stand. When sufficiently large housing schemes have passed through council planning committees, they are then referred to the mayor – who can overturn the committee’s decision.

There will be no Finsbury Park trains to or from London King’s Cross, Moorgate or St Pancras International stations from Friday and over this weekend.
A reduced Thameslink and Great Northern timetable will be in place from Friday (February 26) to Sunday (February 28) to allow Network Rail to prepare for the main three-month stage of the £1.2billion East Coast Main Line upgrade starting next week.
The project will see the track layout at King’s Cross improved and a railway tunnel which has been out of use since the 1970s reopened in works between March and June.
