Regal unveils 1,100-home North Finchley plans

Regal, in partnership with Joseph Partners, has revealed its 1,100-home proposals for North Finchley, in the London Borough of Barnet. The proposals include providing homes and commercial space on brownfield land in the town centre, with public realm and a library.  The wider North Finchley masterplan comprises four plots in the town centre, building heights will range up to 25 storeys. In addition to the masterplan, proposals for Lodge Lane have also been revealed. This will be the earliest site to be brought forward, including 98 homes, a cinema, bowling alley, restaurant and a public square. Regal and Joseph Partners entered into a land agreement with the London Borough of Barnet for the regeneration of North Finchley town centre in 2021. Work is expected to begin on the Lodge Lane car park site in late 2025, with completion scheduled for 2027. Development of the remainder of the masterplanned site will begin later that year. Regal chief executive Jonathan Seal said: “For nearly three years we have been working hard, listening to local residents and visitors, understanding what makes North Finchley special and how it needs to evolve. “Projects of this scale and complexity require shared ambition and vision between public and private sector. Hence, we continue to work closely with Barnet Council, ensuring that we can meet the new government’s intentions to build homes at pace and bring real economic benefits to North Finchley town centre.”
