Hendon Town Hall
Barnet Council is publicising an information gathering exercise being led by The Greater London Authority (GLA) on identifying places where new housing could be built.
This will form part of what is known as a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) in the LAND4LDN project as part of the new London Plan to meet the needs of a growing population in our capital city.
The SHLAA will identify sites that could be suitable for housing. It will consider their potential and assess if and when they could be developed.
To inform the preparation of the new London-wide SHLAA the GLA are holding a call for sites that people think could be suitable for development for housing. This will incorporate the views of developers, landowners, community organisations and members of the public.
The call for sites is open until Wednesday 30 October.
Councillor Ross Houston, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Homes & Regeneration, said: “Our population is expanding, and we need to find new opportunities for the sites that will provide new homes and the GLA needs help identifying where these homes should be built.”
Only large sites of 0.25 of a hectare or greater will be considered through the SHLAA process, which equates to just over half a football pitch. Sites smaller than this will be considered separately. Find out more at: https://www.london.gov.uk/land4ldn

Planning decisions in Barnet are based on the London Plan and the Local Plan.
