NC Policy 15 New Southgate Station Area (Site 5)
The site presents potential for mixed use development with commercial uses on lower floors and apartments above. Taking full account of the guidance contained within the New Southgate Masterplan, new development should take account of the following:
- New improved public space at the area around the station entrance.
- High quality design with emphasis on responding positively to the local context of Friern Barnet Road commercial frontage.
- Commercial/retail uses most appropriate adjacent to the station and on the Friern Barnet Road frontage where there is potential for the building to form an extension to the proposed local centre designation at New Southgate.
- Building heights of 4-5 storeys along Station Road rising to 6 storeys on Friern Barnet Road.
- Capacity for approximately 80 apartments with scope for nearly 800sqm of ground floor commercial uses.
New Southgate Station currently has a poor relationship with its hinterland and redevelopment of the sites around the station has the potential to address this directly. New Southgate station is already an important transport hub for the local community providing frequent train services to central London. There is an opportunity to improve the relationship between the station area and the local commercial parade along Friern Barnet Road which would strengthen the commercial viability of the area as a whole.
