Regal has submitted plans with Barnet Council for the first phase of the North Finchley Town Centre regeneration project.
The masterplan includes developing 855 homes, alongside a new public square, library and cultural hub. It also comprises public realm enhancements along High Road, Nether Street and Kingsway.
While specific details of building design and layout will be determined in subsequent planning stages, the submission of the masterplan application sets the foundation for North Finchley’s transformation.
Paul Eden, co-founder at Regal, said: “With too many empty shops and limited footfall, a traffic-heavy environment and tired public realm, North Finchley needs a fresh approach to draw people in and rejuvenate the high street. Not only can town centres no longer rely solely on retail, but they also need a balanced mix of homes, workplaces and spaces for people to come together.
“Over the past four years we have worked hard with the team at Joseph Partners to bring Jonathan Joseph’s incredible vision to life. This masterplan makes the corner of Barnet a place where independent businesses can thrive and succeed and where the high street once again becomes a destination to draw people in and keep them coming back.”
