A good example of the value of a Transport Technical Note is “Oak Tree Mews” development in Finchley, Barnet. KRONEN were appointed following a difficult and unsupportive pre-application engagement. The application site was a triangular piece of vacant undeveloped land with a large central oak tree at Osborn Gardens / Devonshire Road / Aberdare Gardens with two constrained and unmade points of access. In terms of planning the site had almost been sterilized for future applications by three recent refusals / dismissed appeals. The proposal sought three dwellings with off-street parking.
