THE SITE

GATEWAY HOUSE | PUBLIC CONSULTATION | MARCH 2013

W E L C O M E

The Gateway House office block on Regent’s Park Road has been unoccupied since 2009. Despite being on the market over this time it has not been possible to find new tenants. Our proposal will bring this prime site back to life so that it can make a positive contribution to the local economy.

THE PROPOSAL

This redevelopment will create new commercial space, job opportunities, new retail and library space and 73 new homes.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

This exhibition is part of the consultation in advance of submitting a planning application to Barnet Council in April. This is your chance to see the plans and have your say on the proposals. Please have a look through the exhibition boards and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask members of the project team here today.
