Barratt London and Places for London have set a construction start date for a major site in High Barnet.

Work will get underway in 2026 to deliver 300 new homes alongside small-scale commercial uses at the High Barnet station site.

It is the latest scheme to be unlocked by the West London Partnership, which was established in June 2024 with a target of developing £1.9bn of schemes.

Craig Carson, Managing Director at Barratt West London, said: “We are proud to be appointed by Places for London as their formal development partner for the West London Partnership, building 4,000 new homes over the next decade. There is strength in our partnership, which is borne from an alignment of vision and values together to deliver the next generation of homes in a way that speaks to London’s unique housing needs.

“Each site within the partnership has been specially selected to bring forward underused land with excellent transport links and put it back into use for the public benefit, including delivering public realm. London is in urgent need of more homes, and by taking a collaborative approach with Places for London, we can accelerate the delivery of these high quality sustainable new homes as well as investing in local communities.”

Jonathan Cornelius, Head of Property Development at Places for London, comments: “The West London Partnership will build on our work to date, and have a positive legacy by building thoughtfully-designed, thriving, and connected neighbourhoods for London.

“Through working with Barratt London, we have already delivered high quality, affordable housing to hundreds of Londoners so far and we will continue to work towards our wider aim of delivering more than 20,000 homes across London over the next decade, with 4,000 of them being built through this partnership alone.

“We’re delighted to move forward with our proposals to build much-needed homes in High Barnet through the West London Partnership. Our plans for this new development will revitalise the area for new and existing residents by enhancing the station area with new amenities and building 300 new homes which London urgently needs.”
