CS3: Distribution of Growth in Meeting Housing Aspirations
On the basis of our Three Strands Approach we expect that in the range of 28,000 new homes will be provided within the lifetime of this Core Strategy 2011/12 to 2025/26.
As our focus of growth we will promote opportunities on the west side of the borough in the strategically identified North West London – Luton Coordination Corridor. We will promote the following regeneration and development areas in the Corridor:
- Brent Cross – Cricklewood
- Colindale
- Mill Hill East.
These areas are expected to provide in the range of 16,000 new homes between 2011/12 to 2025/26. An appropriate level of transport provision will be provided as the regeneration schemes roll out.
We will, in order to meet the Decent Homes standard, and deliver a greater range and variety of accommodation, also promote the regeneration of priority housing estates at:
- Dollis Valley
- Stonegrove and Spur Road
- West Hendon
- Grahame Park
- Granville Road.
These areas are expected to provide in the range of 2,200 new homes between 2011/12 to 2025/26.
We will also promote the development area of the North London Business Park and Oakleigh Road South in order to develop in the range of 400 new homes by 2020/21 as part of a mixed use development in accordance with the adopted Planning Brief of June 2006.

Through a programme of town centre strategies we will develop frameworks for the town centres of Chipping Barnet, Edgware, Finchley Church End and North Finchley. These locations will provide the main focus for enhancement and infill housing development: and will provide for residential uses above ground floor level.
Our strategic approach on further development opportunity sites will be set within the context of the density matrix in the London Plan. We will seek to optimise rather than simply maximise housing density to reflect local context, public transport accessibility and provision of social infrastructure.
