About Brent Cross Town

In 2016, Barnet Council and Argent Related created a joint venture to deliver Brent Cross Town – a new mixed-use 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.

The Brent Cross Town team are now consulting on the transformation of Clitterhouse Playing Fields and would like to hear your views.

The Brent Cross Town team are now consulting on the transformation of Clitterhouse Playing Fields and would like to hear your views.

Clitterhouse Playing Fields sits at the heart of the new Brent Cross Town and the existing nearby community. It is the largest green space in Brent Cross Town at around 44 acres, and about the same size as 22 football pitches. Despite its size, the range of facilities is low, creating a significant opportunity to improve it for the existing and future residents of Brent Cross Town and for the wider community to enjoy. We want to provide a space that appeals to all everyone, whether you are picnicking, walking your dog, enjoying the outdoors, taking part in team sports, or trying out new activities.

We want to ensure that the playing fields meet the needs of people who live, work and visit in the area now and in the future, with an emphasis on creating an inclusive, accessible and welcoming space for everyone.

In autumn of 2021 we carried out a consultation to understand how you use Clitterhouse Playing Fields, your vision for the playing fields and what you would like to see provided in the future. We have taken into account all the feedback we received in our first round of consultation. This feedback has been invaluable in helping to shape these updated proposals. We are now holding a series of events where the team will be on-hand to discuss your vision for Clitterhouse Playing Fields and hear your thoughts and ideas.

    We asked

    We asked you what you thought about the new designs for Clitterhouse Playing Fields, which is due to be regenerated through the Brent Cross Town development. We shared how we had responded to your comments from our first round of consultation in October 2021, such as the inclusion of a café and changing facilities within the pavilion. Through the consultation we also asked you about what kind of things would support and encourage you in participating in sport and physical activity more often.


    We asked you

    • how you use the playing fields and whether providing new facilities for sports, play and wellbeing would represent an improvement to what exists at the moment
    • what facilities you would use, such as an all-wheel park, basketball courts, and all-weather pitches for football, and hockey
    • we asked you whether you liked the design of the playing fields, and how we could make it more accessible for all members of the community
    • we asked you about the landscape and ecology of the playing fields.
    • we asked you how you would like dogs to use the playing fields


    You said

    You told us that you liked the updated proposals for Clitterhouse Playing Fields. The type of activities which you supported included the outdoor gym, playgrounds, wildflower areas, café, and seating/picnic areas. You were supportive of the inclusion of space for community events to be held in such as the amphitheatre, as well as the continuation of existing community activities. You were supportive of the mix of facilities for wellbeing, sport, physical activity, and play, to ensure that people can relax in open spaces as well as engage in sport.

    You shared views about how the park would operate once open, referencing safety and security, maintenance, and the affordability of using the facilities proposed for sports and play. From this feedback it was clear that affordability and accessibility were important to respondents, ensuring Clitterhouse Playing Fields is a place which is suitable for people of all ages, ability, and interests.


    We did

    We have taken on board your feedback and developed the final designs for the playing fields which consider comments from both our first and second rounds of consultation. We look forward to sharing these proposals with you and expand on how we are ensuring the playing fields can be safe, well-maintained, and affordable at our public consultation in Summer 2022.
