The Barnet Strategic Planning Committee refused planning permission for the comprehensive redevelopment of the Great North Leisure Park on Chaplin Square, London, against officer recommendations, citing concerns about overdevelopment, poor public transport accessibility, and the height, mass, and bulk of the proposed buildings in a suburban setting. The committee agreed that the application would be referrable to the Mayor of London, and that the reasons for refusal would be based on the high density of the proposal, the poor public transport accessibility level of the site, and the height, mass and bulk of the development being inappropriate in the suburban setting.
