Barnet Local Plan 2021-2036

Barnet has a new Local Plan

The new Local Plan establishes the Council’s vision for growth and development in Barnet over a 15 year period (2021-2036).

Together with the Mayor's London Plan the North London Waste Plan, Policies Map and the Area Action Plans for Colindale and Mill Hill East it forms the Development Plan for the Borough. The Development Plan is the basis upon which planning applications will be determined unless there are material planning considerations that indicate otherwise.

The Policies Map shows the main policy designations such as Green Belt, Metropolitan Open Land, conservation areas, employment areas, town centres and open spaces as well as the site proposals that are highlighted in the Local Plan.

The Development Plan is the key component of Barnet’s Planning Framework. Other parts of this Framework include:

  • Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
  • Town Centre Frameworks
  • Planning Briefs
  • Guidance Notes.
