THE SITE AND CONTEXT

4
The site lies between the A1 Watford Way, which is a dual
carriageway, and the M1 motorway. It is situated in the Mill Hill
ward of the London Borough of Barnet.
The site is largely underused. Over the last few years many
of the retail and commercial tenants have vacated the site.
TGI Fridays continue to operate and a kosher outlet is also
trading on a temporary basis.

Although the site is large, a little over three hectares, the
existing buildings are in a poor state of repair and offer limited
employment opportunities.

CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The primary challenges in regenerating this site are:
•Poor pedestrian accessibility
•Noise pollution from surrounding roads
•Air quality
•Limited access for vehicles
•Site levels
PROPOSALS FOR PENTAVIA RETAIL PARK
OUR VISION
Masterplan image of proposals
The proposals will deliver the following benefits:
A new vibrant neighbourhood
Improved accessibility
The proposals will transform Pentavia Retail Park into
a thriving and sustainable neighbourhood with green
public parks and local amenities; a destination for people
to live, work and enjoy.
The proposals will unlock this constrained site with new
pedestrian routes and cycle links.
Affordable homes
We will help to address Barnet’s housing need by delivering
high quality build to rent homes, let at affordable rents.
Commercial opportunities
The types of businesses we envisage using the site might
include restaurants and cafés, a convenience store, dry
cleaners, a health and fitness centre and nursery.
PROPOSALS FOR PENTAVIA RETAIL PARK
Socio-economic benefits
The proposals will draw new businesses to Mill Hill. This will
create an uplift in employment and bring other economic
benefits to the local area.
The scheme will help to increase footfall and spending
on Mill Hill Broadway.
DESIGN AND MATERIALS
Proposed view of the scheme from the A1
DESIGN
The design of the scheme focuses on creating a protected
environment. Its massing is broken up in to four buildings:
Block A Curvilinear block along the M1
Block B Stepped straight building along the A1
Block C Crescent building
Brick
Brick outwards façade
Brick inwards façade
Anodised metal
Black metal
Glass
Timber
Stone gabion wall
Stone façade
Block D Straight building facing Bunns Lane.
The layout of these buildings has been carefully considered
to provide maximum protection from the M1, A1, Bunns
Lane and nearby railway.
The blocks vary in height from ground plus six storeys to
ground plus eight storeys at the tallest point.
MATERIALS
Different façade treatments are proposed throughout the
scheme, creating varied palettes and textures that help to
break up the mass of each building.

Proposed landscaping plan
The landscaping within the scheme focuses on creating a community
environment for new residents and the wider Mill Hill community.
The scheme incorporates over 10,500 sqm of public green space:
1Central Circus
A central connective hub at the heart of the scheme, for socialising,
recreation and biodiversity.
2Mill Hill Walk
A new pedestrian axis linking the front entrance to the centre of the inner
circle and towards the Bunns Lane Link. This landscaped pedestrian link
leads up to the natural pond in the centre of the scheme.
3Pocket Public Park
A mixed use park with spaces for quiet contemplation, play and social
activities connected via meandering paths. A combination of biodiverse,
native and ornamental planting arrangements are proposed.
4Bunns Lane Link
This is the pedestrian route created by a series of landscaped ramps with
pockets of trees and landscaping on either side of the route.
5Play
A series of accessible play spaces for children of all ages to enjoy.
6Woodland Edge
Woodland species planting to act as a buffer between the development
and adjacent roads. The woodland edges will also soften the urban
environment and enhance biodiversity of the site.
Amenity
All residents will have access to private amenity in the form of balconies,
winter gardens and shared terraces.

CREATING A PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT
AIR QUALITY
The perimeter of the Pentavia Retail site is subject
to high levels of the traffic related pollutants of
Nitrogen Dioxide and Particulate Matter as a result
of the proximity of the M1 motorway to the west
and the A1 Watford Way to the east.
Air quality monitoring has been undertaken to
establish the levels of the pollutant of concern at
the site and to enable detailed modelling to be
undertaken.
This has indicated that whilst Nitrogen Dioxide levels
in particular, immediately adjacent to the roads are
in excess of the health guideline annual average
levels of 40µg/m3, levels within the proposed
amenity space is observed to be well within these.
Further to this, dispersion modelling of the barrier
effect of the proposed building façades has
demonstrated that the anticipated levels within
the amenity space are predicted to decrease by
around a further 13%*.
These values are based upon EU limit values which
have been transposed into UK legislation and World
Health Organisation guidelines.
Air quality analysis
ACOUSTICS
The design and layout of the buildings has been
carefully developed to deliver high quality,
community amenity space for future residents.
To assist with this, additional mitigation has been
provided through the use of “green barriers” along
the M1 and A1 boundaries of the site.
The massing of the buildings and use of screens
are being developed to reduce noise levels to
below the World Health Organisation’s guideline
value of 55dB(A).
Noise intrusion into the proposed flats will be
controlled through the use of a carefully designed
sound insulation scheme.
DAYLIGHT/SUNLIGHT
Daylight, sunlight and overshadowing assessments
are currently being undertaken.
Care will be taken to ensure that adequate sunlight
provision will reach outdoor amenity spaces within
the development.
We expect surrounding properties to retain similar
levels of daylight and sunlight with the proposed
development in place.
A daylight sunlight assessment will be submitted
alongside the planning application, which will be
publically available to view.
This assessment will be in line with the
recommendations set out in the British Standard
Code of Practice for Daylighting and Building
Research Establishment Guidelines on site layout
for daylight and sunlight.
* Modelled results may over estimate amenity space values by up to 14%

ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Reference sustainability images
The design and construction of the development will be considerate of the principles of sustainability.
Measures proposed to achieve this objective include:
•The
incorporation of an energy centre to reduce the carbon emissions associated with the supply
of heat and electricity.
•The
use of renewable energy technologies including the installation of Photovoltaic solar collectors
at roof level is being considered.
•Secure
cycle spaces for residents to encourage sustainable transport.
