Background

In 2016, Barnet Council and Argent Related created a joint venture to deliver Brent Cross Town – a new neighbourhood for north London. Brent Cross Town, set around 50 acres of parks and playing fields, will deliver 6,700 new homes and workplaces for 25,000 people supported by first-class public transport infrastructure, a new and improved network of walking and cycle routes and a series of new and improved parks, squares and other amenities.

Plot 1 will include offices as well as higher education facilities and a retail unit on the ground floor. It is sited in a highly accessible location, next to Brent Cross West Station. The station is due to be completed by December 2022 and will provide a connection to central London in 12 minutes.


What we are seeking your views on

Outline planning permission has already been granted for Brent Cross Town, including Plot 1. This means that permission has been granted for the building, its size and massing, and for its use as offices. Now that we have outline approval for Plot 1 we are seeking your views on the detailed designs before we submit a Reserved Matters Application (RMA) to Barnet Council.

Since this outline approval was granted, we have also had an interest from a higher education provider who would like to take almost half of the space in the building. This means we want to amend the use of the building to include educational facilities as well as offices, we are therefore also seeking your views on this proposal .

    We asked

    We asked you what you thought about the new designs for Plot 1, the first office-led development being delivered in Brent Cross Town. This new building is situated adjacent to the new Brent Cross West Station which is expected to be completed in the new year and will provide a connection to central London in 12 minutes.

    We asked you

    • whether you like the design of the exterior of Plot 1, as well as the internal layout.
    • whether you were supportive of a rooftop space, along with seating for the building’s occupiers.
    • if you were in favour of the use of sustainable building techniques such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) to reduce carbon emissions associated with building this development.
    • if you were supportive of the inclusion of cycle storage and shower facilities to encourage active travel.

    You said

    You told us that you were supportive of the inclusion of rooftop space, as well as the inclusion of greenery and seating space within this. You liked the proposals inclusion of cycle storage and shower facilities to encourage active travel. You were supportive of the reduction of energy usage by making use of natural daylight. You asked how we were incorporating natural materials within the building and integrating more greenery within the external design of the building. You shared some concern about the exterior design of Plot 1 but were overall supportive of the proposals for Plot 1 at Brent Cross Town.

    We did

    We have taken on board your feedback and developed the final designs for Plot 1. This included incorporating multiple terraces which provide external amenities at different levels. We have also made the timber on the structure fully visible through exposed ceilings on every office floor, creating a warm and natural environment for the building’s users.
