"The development will see the shopping centre demolished and rebuilt, with a podium above for up to 3,365 new homes, including at least 1,150 affordable homes and 463 student accommodation spaces."
"Ballymore's plans have been controversial locally, in large part due to the size of the development, as well as the proposal to relocate the existing bus garage into a basement beneath the housing."
"A report into the application by the GLA's Planning Unit found that there are no sound planning reasons for the Mayor to intervene in this case."
"The local campaign group opposing the development, Save Our Edgware, says it is taking legal advice on a judicial review of Barnet's decision."
The redevelopment of Edgware town centre involves demolishing the existing shopping centre to build a new complex with 3,365 homes, including affordable housing and student accommodation. The project will also open nearly five acres of previously inaccessible land as Deans Brook Nature Park. Despite local controversy regarding the development's size and the relocation of a bus garage, Barnet Council approved the plans. The Mayor of London decided not to intervene, allowing the project to move forward unless blocked by the government or courts.
