Housebuilder gets permission for 630-home regeneration scheme

Dollis Valley

Countryside Properties and housing association L&Q have won outline planning permission for its 630-home Dollis Valley regeneration scheme alongside a detailed permission for the 108-home first phase.

Barnet council gave permission for the scheme in Chipping Barnet, which will involve the demolition of the 436-home social housing estate with a mixed-tenure development designed by Alison Brooks and HTA.

The first phase will include 21 four-bedroom, 41 three-bedroom, 34 two-bedroom and 12 one-bedroom homes, including both flats and traditional houses. The scheme will also see the construction of new green spaces and community facilities, including a community centre and pre-school nursery. 

Richard Cherry, deputy chairman, Countryside Properties said he was 鈥渄elighted鈥� that the Council had approved its planning application. 鈥淭he regeneration will create a sustainable development of a 21st Century suburb which will bring great benefits to the wider community of Chipping Barnet,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e are particular pleased that residents will shortly see work start on site.鈥�

Nigel Eade, Chair of the Dollis Valley Partnership Board, said:  鈥淎s a resident of Dollis Valley and someone who has been working on the regeneration plans for more than ten years, I am delighted that these proposals have won consent. This regeneration will deliver a vast improvement compared to the existing Dollis Valley estate.鈥�
