Against the protests of Fortune Green Councillors, plans for the redevelopment of 150 hectares around Brent Cross and Cricklewood were approved by Barnet council last night.
Camden Council submitted an official objection to the scheme - and Fortune Green Councillors worked to strengthen those objections by pointing to the considerable stress that the scheme will place on local roads.
When complete, it is estimated that the site will generate 29,000 car journeys EVERY DAY!Cricklewood Broadway is already jam packed, and we are very worried about the additional pressure that the development will place on local roads.
Few could doubt that the area around Brent Cross needs re-thinking. Anyone who's ever tried to walk around Brent Cross knows how badly planned the area is. However, the proposed scheme threatens to replicate all the mistakes of the existing scheme by putting so much emphasis on the car.
