Aerial view of the site and surrounding area
WELCOME TO OUR SECOND EXHIBITION
WHICH SETS OUT OUR REVISED PLANS TO
DEVELOP THE PENTAVIA RETAIL PARK SITE.
The purpose of the exhibition is to provide the community
with the opportunity to view our outline ideas for the site
and to ask any questions.
Subject to the feedback received at this exhibition and
from the programme of meetings with local stakeholders,
we hope to submit a planning application to Barnet
Council later in the year.

SITE AND CONTEXT

The site is located in the Mill Hill ward of the London Borough
of Barnet and lies between the A1 Watford Way, which is a dual
carriageway, and the M1 motorway.
Over the last few years many of the retail and other business tenants
have vacated the site leaving it largely unused; however, TGI Fridays
continue to operate from here 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 with limited job creation.

Built form to defend against noise
The main challenges in achieving the
regeneration of this site are:
•Air quality and noise pollution, due to its
proximity to the M1 and A1, as well as the
mainline railway.
•Limited accessibility to the site from
surrounding roads.
•Poor pedestrian links
Extend buildings to defend all directions
Built form shelters and protects the hierarchy of spaces

OUR APPROACH

The key benefits of the proposals are:
REGENERATION
A vibrant new residential neighbourhood, with high quality architecture
creating a quiet haven for people to live, work and enjoy.
It will create a new destination for recreation, socialising and living,
helping to increase footfall on Mill Hill High Street.
The proposals represent an exciting opportunity to significantly
enhance the quality and appearance of this isolated retail park.
UNLOCK THIS CONSTRAINED SITE
New pedestrian and cycle links through the site making it safer and
more accessible.
NEW HOMES
Delivery of much needed new homes onsite to help meet the housing
need in the borough
NEW COMMERCIAL AND LEISURE FACILITIES
Proposed landscape plan
SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS
Redevelopment will draw new businesses to the area bringing
economic benefits and a significant uplift in employment.
A significant proportion of the expected residents of the
development are likely to be of working age, helping to boost
the local labour supply.
The types of businesses we envisage might include a convenience

Proposed module plans

•A mixture of affordable, private sale and
Private Rental Sector (PRS) homes
•Provision of one, two and three bed units
•500 plus underground car parking
spaces for residents; including spaces

•More people are looking to rent as a flexible
option - evidence suggests that the majority

demand from young couples, both with and

in this area, but the development will cater
to suit all demands.
PRIVATE RENTAL SECTOR (PRS)
Benefits
•The homes will be affordable and of a very
high quality.
Demand
•Growth in house prices and low levels of
new housing supply increase the demand
for renting in the private sector.
•Mortgage constraints on access to owner
occupation.
•Full time management, security and
surveillance will be in place to ensure safe
and efficient day-to-day running of the site
whilst maintaining the development for years
to come.
PROPOSALS FOR PENTAVIA RETAIL PARK
•The design will create connectivity
within the development as well to
surrounding areas.
•There will be significant investment in
transport infrastructure.
•Meadow Partners will strive to provide
the residents with a local-community
atmosphere which encourages social
activity between residents and this is
supported by essential facilities and
services to assist with daily activities;
Such as a gym, work stations, a dining
room, post and package store, wifi,
a residents’ website, common rooms,
plus many more.
•We want tenants to feel they are renting
the whole building not just an apartment.

environment and improve the visual appearance of the site.

CREATING A PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT
ACOUSTICS
The top image indicates that the green areas
are within the World Health Organisation's
guideline levels for residential amenity.
In this image, various noise mitigation
measures have been applied. These include
the theoretical provision of a green noise
barrier and adjustment to the building massing
along the A1 façade.
In addition a re-orientation of an access ramp
off Bunns Lane has been applied to the north
of the scheme, considerably reducing noise
ingress into the site.
AIR QUALITY
Both diffusion tube and real time air quality
monitoring data is currently being collected for
the Pentavia site.
Acoustic analysis with preliminary mitigation
The types and locations of monitor have
been agreed in consultation with Barnet
Borough Council and will be used to provide
an accurate picture of current air quality at
the site. This data will also be used to inform
the detailed modelling of future predicted air
quality at this location.
Existing studies have indicated that pollution
levels immediately adjacent to the A1 and M1
are poor. Our initial studies have suggested
that the central areas of the site are subject to
significantly better air quality.
It is also considered that the buildings
themselves will act as barriers to traffic
pollution, further improving site amenity. The
extent of this improvement is currently the
subject of detailed air quality modelling.
DAYLIGHT SUNLIGHT
•The scheme has been developed with the
relevant BRE guidelines in mind.
•Care will be taken to ensure that adequate
sunlight provision will reach outdoor amenity
spaces within the development that require it.
Air quality testing plan
•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.
PROPOSALS FOR PENTAVIA RETAIL PARK
ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY
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.
•The enhancement of the ecological and aesthetic value of the site
through the incorporation of a green/blue roof.
•Secure cycle spaces for residents to encourage sustainable
transport.
•Electric vehicle car charging points.
•Pond in the village common to increase biodiversity and ecology
of the site.
PROPOSALS FOR PENTAVIA RETAIL PARK
TRANSPORT & CONNECTIONS
ACCESS & PEDESTRIANS LINKS
TRANSPORT
•New step-free link between Bunns Lane and the development site.
•In the mornings and evenings a frequent shuttle bus service
will be provided from the development to nearby train station
and tube stations.
•Improvements to cycle and pedestrian facilities and links to the
wider network.
•The vehicle access strategy will involve a new resident only
access linking the residential undercroft car park to Bunns Lane.
•Provision of car club facilities for residents.
•This will give residents the choice of accessing via Bunns Lane
or the A1, removing circulatory movements on the A1 and
reducing traffic impact on the highway network.
•Local bus links located nearby including 113, 221, 114,
186, 251, 183, 303.
•All commercial and leisure traffic will be accessed from the
existing A1 access only.
SERVICING
•Servicing access to be provided via both A1 and Bunns
Lane accesses.

•Public transport links in existence are:
•Mill Hill Broadway Station is a 12 minute walk or short bus
ride from the site.

bus ride away.
•A detailed Transport Assessment will be prepared in
partnership with highway officers at Barnet Council and
Transport for London.
