Planning permission has been secured for a mixed-use project that will introduce 11 new residential units and commercial areas to the location.

Project Details and Community Input
The approved plans detail the sensitive restoration and extension of the building, which is situated within the Wood Street Conservation Area. Improvements will include the reinstatement of a traditional shopfront, masonry repairs, and the addition of architectural detailing. A roof extension is also planned, designed to harmonise with the existing historic townscape. The project is the outcome of comprehensive discussions involving local residents, The Barnet Society, other stakeholders, and Barnet Council's planning officials.
