Developer Barratt London and Transport for London’s property company Places for London want to build five blocks of flats on the Tube station’s car park.
Updated proposals for the development, which would deliver around 300 homes, were revealed earlier this month.
The latest plans show that regular parking at the station would be axed completely.
There are currently 167 spaces to park at the station, but only a few blue badge and drop-off bays would remain for station users once the flats are built.
New residents would also be banned from having a parking permit unless they have a blue badge.
The developer acknowledged that concerns around parking was the single most common theme during the first round of public consultation last year.
“We understand that some of you had concerns about the impact of car parking removal on surrounding streets, particularly from commuter drivers,” they explained.
“We’ll be working with Barnet Council as part of our legal agreement to ensure the right measures are in place to prevent any parking spillover, such as Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs).”
Surveys reportedly show that car park users account for just 8% of daily entries at High Barnet station on an average weekday, and that 89% of drivers start their journey within 500 metres of a bus stop that could get them to the station in less than 15 minutes.
Two-fifths of the homes in the new development would be “affordable”, typically marketed at 80% of market rates.
Most would have two bedrooms, but some one and three-bedroom flats would also be available.
The developer has said that the red brick design of the blocks is “inspired by” buildings in the High Road, including Old Court House and Queen Elizabeth Girls’ School.
The five main blocks on the site would range in height between ten- and seven-storeys.
There will be one standalone block, as well as two pairs of two linked blocks.
“The spaces between buildings will also provide additional spaces for new pocket parks and green space, offering welcoming places for people to walk, relax, and play,” the developer claims.
A planning application is now expected to be submitted to Barnet Council this spring.
This could pave the way for work to start on the site early next year, with the first residents moving into the new flats in 2029.
