Delivering for Barnet is the programme of regeneration and development taking place across the borough over the 15 years. It will deliver better places to live and work while protecting and enhancing the borough for generations to come. As part of the programme, we’re building more new homes than any other borough in outer London. Helping to create thriving communities. We work with developers to make sure growth and development is responsible and managed in areas that will be most enhanced by change.

Article 4 Direction Update Change of use from B1(a) office and B1(c) light industrial to residential As of 1 August 2022 these Article 4 Directions have lapsed. On 1 August 2021, a new permitted development right from Class E (Commercial, Business and Service) to Class C3 (Residential) replaced the rights for change of use from B1(a) office and B1(c) light industrial to residential that these Article 4 Directions were made under. 

Barnet Common covered the whole area south of Wood Street including places such as Duck Island, and Underhill as far as the Dollis. Originally the area was a wood, which was cleared to form the common by the 16th century. In 1649 there was a short lived Digger community on the common, and around the same time the local clay was used for bricks.
