A planning application has been submitted for the properties at 2 and 2A Mountfield Road in Finchley. The proposals detail a significant reconfiguration of the existing dwellings, aiming to transform them into several self-contained residential flats. The scheme also includes plans for basement works, the construction of new extensions, and the provision of on-site parking spaces.
Details of the Application
The application, reference number 26/2176/FUL, outlines a comprehensive overhaul of the two neighbouring houses. Beyond the conversion into multiple flats, the plans encompass enlarged basement areas, new roof structures, and landscaping. These developments are part of a broader set of planning applications submitted to Barnet Council for review, as reported by the Barnet & Potters Bar Times.
