AFK<\/a>, said: \u2018Hendon Goods Yard builds on our experience designing homes for the grey belt, evolving ideas first explored at Mill Hill to meet the needs of a changing London for both today and tomorrow.\u2019<\/p>\nThe scheme aims at achieving a BREEAM Very Good rating, incorporating air source heat pumps, water saving appliances and a 10 per cent biodiversity net gain over the existing site.<\/p>\n
The application has already prompted several objections from nearby residents on the Barnet planning application, expressing concern at the addition of housing and student accommodation in an already \u2018densely populated area\u2019 with multiple development projects in the works.<\/p>\n
Arlene Pearlman, who lives on Dartmouth Road, said: \u2018The additional residents will further swamp an already swamped area for parking, medical appointments and train travel.<\/p>\n
\u2018Yes it will help the local shops, but this development should be scaled down considerably to something more manageable locally.\u2019<\/p>\n
Another objector, Jinna Wu, described the proposal as \u2018excessive and fundamentally unsuitable for the area\u2019, while Judith Shepherd called the scheme \u2018outrageously huge\u2019. Both warned that local services, such as schools and transport links, could be overstretched by the influx of new residents.<\/p>\n
Environmental assessments of the projects impact on the surrounding area found that the effect on transport services would be \u2018negligible\u2019, even when the cumulative effect of other nearby developments were considered.<\/p>\n
An assessment of the demand for student housing concluded that there is a significant and growing shortage of purpose-built student accommodation in the area.<\/p>\n
