Barnet Quality Review Panel - Reports of Quality Review: North Finchley Masterplan (Phase 1)
Received: 19 May 2025
I am requesting the Reports of the Barnet Quality Review Panel (QRP) for the proposed North Finchley Masterplan (Phase 1) development. This development is by Regal Ltd (through Regal JP North Finchley Ltd). It is currently the subject of Planning Application number 25/1123/OUT. (Please note that the QRP may have used a different name for the development but in any case it will refer to North Finchley town centre.)There may be one or two reports. According to the planning application by Regal, it discussed the report/s with the QRP in May 2024 and August 2024 (see Design& Access Statement Part 7 pages 113 and 115 which forms part of the application on the council website).The release of the report/s is strongly in the public interest. This is a very large development that will affect tens of thousands of people. The developer argues in the application that it met the QRP's recommendations. This can only be checked if the QRP reports are available. Moreover, the reports are essential to understand the design aspects of the proposed development. Note: A QRP report was recently made available under FOI request number 14250290 (for planning application 24/4315/rma relating to Finchley Memorial Hospital).
