Proposed housing development on land formerly Broadfields Infants School

Several Hartland Drive residents have got together to try and voice their concern over the proposed development, however this isn’t just a Hartland Drive issue. The proposed development will impact the entire Broadfields area. A leaflet has been published and will be delivered to certain streets but I am putting it up here too. If you can read it and respond that would be very helpful.

Proposed housing development on land formerly Broadfields Infants School

As many of you know the land that was formally Broadfields Infants School has been abandoned for some years now. Over the years there have been various proposals for use of the land. In 2013 residents were able to fight off a proposed huge school being built on the site. In 2015 Barnet proposed a new Housing Estate and it was given the go ahead but never materialised. Now in 2020 the land has been sold to Fairview developers and over the last few weeks they have removed all the vegetation and began to level the site ready for development. Thanks to eagle eyed residents it was noticed that the works were being carried out without the correct planning permission. The work on site has now stopped.

Whilst most people are in favour of a development we want it to be sustainable and not to impact the surrounding area. The new plans which were based on the 2015 plans represent a 22% increase in housing density. They have also reduced parking.

Please take a look at the proposals and leave feedback & comments.

I have been asked to post this:

Please help.

As you are all aware Edgware Town Centre is in a sorry state and the residents are very unhappy. We are making an effort to combat this by trying to raise funds for flower boxes etc. Flowering Edgware has been launched and we have to raise £15,881 before the middle of August. Are you able to donate and please can you encourage as many people as you know to donate by logging on to our Flowering Edgware – Spacehive page.

https://www.spacehive.com/floweringedgware

No money will be taken from their accounts if we do not raise the funds. If people do not want or cannot pay on line. Please ask them to contact me to make a donation as we have a way of paying this and returning the money if the project fails.

Edgware faces the challenge of high street decline, which is affecting shoppers attitude, as they are choosing alternative shopping centres. To help mitigate against this, Edgware Town Team are keen to enhance the town centre by beautifying the high street with flowers and greenery. We are raising funds to purchase seasonal flowers and solar lighting. We will add hanging baskets and flower boxes to make the high street welcoming and presentable to encourage people to feel positive and add civic pride. This will discourage Anti social behaviour and increase a sense of ownership and well-being. Being within a mile of beautiful parks and countryside, we are seeking to bring this atmosphere close to the town centre to gain rural benefits within the urban environment. We want to increase community participation and involvement.If everybody in Edgware gives £2 – more if they like – we will easily have enough to launch this fantastic project and make this this a reality!

Thank you very much

Maxine Weber

Member Edgware Town Team
