By Simon Allin @SimonAllin3 Local Democracy Reporter, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey The site at 133 Brent Street (Image: Google Maps) Plans for an eight-storey block of flats and offices in an area of low-rise homes have been refused by councillors. Developer Readyset Resources’ proposals for the site of a former police station at 133 Brent Street, Hendon, were turned down at a planning committee meeting on Tuesday. Barnet Council received 52 letters of objection to the plans and only eight in support, with opponents warning they would be out of character, overlook neighbours and worsen parking and congestion problems. Planning officers said the scheme should be refused, pointing out in a report that the site lies outside an area earmarked for tall buildings in the local plan.
