Regal’s plan for North Finchley town centre
North Finchley Masterplan:
Betting with high stakes
Barnet Council will soon decide whether to approve a massive development in North Finchley that could destroy much of the town centre as we know it. This is the most substantial scheme that Finchley has seen in decades. Many of the buildings around Tally Ho Corner will be demolished and replaced with tall blocks of flats, which will be overwhelming and soulless. While a new, bright, and bustling town centre core is promised, it is equally likely to be dark, windy, desolate and bland. The council shouldn’t gamble on this unsuitable high-stakes scheme.
In his lively article, Michael Levitsky from the Finchley Society Planning Committee looks at what is at stake for North Finchley, what’s wrong with Regal’s North Finchley Masterplan and what you can do about it.
