Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 28 June 2020.
Will you attend a public meeting in Barnet to hear the views of residents on your plans to build over the London Underground station car park at Arnos Grove?
I am satisfied that Transport for London (TfL) has allowed for transparent and robust public consultation on all its proposals and planning applications, including at Arnos Grove.
TfL has worked extensively with the community and London Borough of Enfield to develop its plans for Arnos Grove. Following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown, TfL has been working closely with not only Enfield, but boroughs across London to supplement its statutory consultation obligations. This has included providing additional communications, utilising online tools and arranging virtual meetings. Where necessary, TfL has readily agreed to extend planning timetables to ensure local people have sufficient opportunity to scrutinise plans and make representations.
