Local planning points

The Barnet Local Plan 2021 to 2036 was found sound, subject to main modifications, in the inspectors' report dated 6 November 2024.

The Local Plan's HMO policy, as modified, treats a concentration of HMOs as harmful where three or more of the ten nearest properties are already HMOs, and protects existing HMOs of a reasonable standard unless there is no local need.
