We are a non-political community campaign to stop the TfL’s crazy plans to build tower blocks on the park and ride car park Cockfosters station.

...how is this decision consistent with the committees refusal of the Fore Street scheme in January? Fore Street would of delivered 110 (!) Social Rent homes, incl. 22 with 3 bedrooms. i.e. 10x more SR homes than the approved Cockfosters scheme and 2x the number 3 beds. (2/2)

Cockfosters development APPROVED tonight, despite being described as ‘hideous’ by a committee member who then voted to approve it. Only 10 homes will be at Social Rent levels and only 10 will have 3 bedrooms - a tiny fraction of what's required by policy and ... (1/2)

There are 5,000 children living in temporary accommodation in Enfield in desperate need of affordable (social rent) family homes. This development of over 351 homes on public land was approved last night. It will help just 10 of these families. Just 10. @tomcopley

@cllranderson Yes, it will help those who may be considering a judicial review. Here's another example (there are a lot). Whatever peoples views on this scheme, we all surely want decisions to be made on accurate reports and evidence, but that's not what we're getting.

@cllranderson Depressing. Here's another trick/mistake in the officer report for Cockfosters - they justified the terrible housing mix by referring to figures in the wrong housing needs report. It makes a huge difference!

@cllranderson Indeed - and how officers manage this is increasingly troubling. Take the Cockfosters report, it completely misrepresented the income levels needed to rent the 'affordable' flats. Here is just one example 👇

If you live in East Barnet, next Monday Barnet Council are discussing the redevelopment of the old Danegrove playing field & East Barnet library for 97 flats. Barnet will work up a planning application & then either build them themselves or sell with consent. @ebra_rob @NewBarnet

We have uncovered evidence that #TfL has sneakily incorporated Designated Local #Green Space into their development plans! @MayorofLondon previously said: “I will continue to use my full range of planning powers to further strengthen protections for open and green spaces."🤨

So, the @MayorofLondon is applying to develop in OUR borough. The plans are against local planning policies and ‘London Plan’ policies. IF our council does its duty properly and says ‘no’ to the plans, guess who gets the final say on whether it goes ahead? You guessed it!

TfL plans to close the 400 space car park at Cockfosters station forever! The whole area is likely to require resident-only parking zones. So, people who Park and Ride for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur and for work in central London, won't be able to park at/near Cockfosters.
