community facilities.

This exhibition is an opportunity for you to see our revised proposals

before we submit a new planning application to Barnet Council.
Our project team is on hand to answer any questions.

 SITE CONTEXT
1 2
3 4
THE SITE
The site is located in between
the A1 Watford Way and the
M1 motorway. It comprises
a number of retail and
commercial units, some of
which are vacant and in a poor
state of repair.
WIDER CONTEXT
The surrounding area has a
mixed character, with a range
of different buildings types and
a number of green spaces.
Mill Hill is known for its traditional
and suburban character. The
dominant form is the two storey
semi-detached house. Many of
these units were first built in the
1930s.

Proposals for
Pentavia Retail Park
To the south of the site lies
Colindale and Cricklewood,
both of which have been 4
designated as Opportunity
Areas for development in
the London Plan. This context
is characterised by taller
buildings, denser sites and more
intensive regeneration.
3
Barnets large stretches
of green belt land, locally
protected views and
conservation areas means
that Pentavia Retail Park is
one of the few underused sites
in the borough suitable for a 2
development of this kind.
We want to bring forward
proposals that respond to the 1
constraints of this location whilst
acknowledging the varied
wider context.
CHALLENGES
AND OPPORTUNITIES Proposals for
Pentavia Retail Park

At present, the site has poor pedestrian links and issues around
accessibility. Its proximity to the A1 and M1 create challenges
around air and noise quality.

Our proposals provide an opportunity to improve upon these

issues, unlocking Pentavia Retail Parks potential to help meet
Barnets housing need.

In formulating these revised designs, our aim has been to:

Create a sustainable community by maximising the green space
on site, with a variety of private gardens and public parks.
Improve the accessibility of Pentavia Retail Park, connecting it
to the surrounding area.
Create a more traditional configuration of buildings than
previous proposals, with smaller blocks across the site.

 LISTENING TO YOU
Previous exhibition
YOUR FEEDBACK
We have held three exhibitions on
proposals for the site, and met with
representatives from Barnet Council
and the GLA.
These conversations generated helpful
and constructive feedback. Residents
made a number of suggestions about
how the scheme could be improved:
The design should better reflect
the character of Mill Hill.
The impact on neighbours should
be reduced.
The vehicular access from Bunn's
Lane should be reviewed.
The scheme should include a greater
variety of green spaces.

Pentavia Retail Park
CHANGES TO THE SCHEME
Over the last few months, we have
been considering our proposals in light
of this feedback. We have worked
with award-winning architects AFK to
develop a new scheme that responds
to these suggestions.
We have made the following changes
in our revised proposals:
The design and layout has been
altered to reflect its surroundings,
with smaller buildings towards Mill Hill,
rising in scale towards Colindale and
Cricklewood.
A landscape buffer has been created
between the site and Bunns Lane, to Previous exhibition
protect the amenity of neighbours.
Vehicles will no longer be able to
access the site from Bunn's Lane. The
link will now be for pedestrians and
cyclists only.
The number of landscaped courtyards
has been increased.

 GREEN SPACE
AND SUSTAINABILITY Proposals for
Pentavia Retail Park

Proposed landscaping and green spaces

GREEN SPACES
Our ambition is to bring residents together outside by providing
a wide range of green space in Pentavia Retail Park.

We recognise the importance of green space for facilitating

a sustainable and healthy community. Our proposals have been
influenced by local green spaces, particularly the traditional
garden square. They include:
A 6,623 sqm Central Courtyard Landscape reference images

The Grand Boulevard, a green pedestrian link running

through the site.
1,128 sqm of roof gardens, 1,403 sqm of balconies and
2,907 sqm of winter gardens.
Pocket parks located throughout the site, plus several
large gardens in the centre and south.
Planting will be provided around the site, to provide
a green buffer between the community and the
surrounding roads.

SUSTAINABILITY
We want Pentavia Retail Park to be a sustainable community
that has a positive impact on Barnets environment.

The proposals will bring forward measures for:

Energy efficient buildings.
Renewable energy, including PV cells to reduce
the carbon footprint of the development.
Clean heat networks.
Associated communal heating systems for the entire
development.
A gas fired combined heat and power plant will
be installed within the Energy Centre.

A PROTECTED
ENVIRONMENT Proposals for
Pentavia Retail Park

AIR QUALITY
The close proximity of the site to the M1
motorway to the west, and the A1 Watford
Way to the east, means that the perimeter
of the Pentavia Retail Park is subject to high
levels of traffic related pollutants.

Air quality modelling has been undertaken

to ensure that the site is well within legal
health guideline limits on air quality.

ACOUSTICS
The buildings have been carefully designed to
ensure that future residents enjoy high quality
amenity space. A sound insulation scheme
will be in place to protect the amenity of
residents. This will include woodland
planting, as a natural screen and
acoustic barrier along the M1 and A1.

DAYLIGHT/SUNLIGHT
A key concern when designing the
proposals was to ensure that adequate
sunlight reaches the outdoor amenity
spaces within the development.

A full daylight/sunlight assessment will

be submitted alongside the planning
application, which will be publicly
available to view.

www.pentaviadevelopment.co.uk
TRANSPORT & ACCESS
TRANSPORT
The site does not currently fulfil the
potential of its location. Pedestrian
access is currently possible via an existing
footway on the western side of the A1, via
a pedestrian bridge over the M1, and via
a subway under the railway line to the
south of the site.
This development will improve upon these
connections, linking up Pentavia Retail
Park with the wider community:
A new pedestrian only access link
will be created at Bunn's Lane.
Vehicles will continue to access the
site via the A1 entrance to the south.
This will be altered to enhance
pedestrian movements.
