Licence Application: Sutra (formerly N20)

Last summer the iBar (formerly Bull and Butcher) in the High Road next to Boots applied for a licence to remain open till 2am, which was turned down after 108 residents objected.

There is now another similar application from Sutra, the nightclub which was formerly known as N20 on the High Road Whetstone.

Sutra want to remain open until 00:30hrs Sun to Wed, 1:30hrs Thurs, 2:30 hrs Fri and Sat and Christmas Eve, New Years Eve 3:30hrs etc. with premises being vacated within 30 minutes of these times.

If Sutra obtains this license a precedent will be set and iBar is likely to reapply and may well get a similar sort of license.

If you are concerned about this licence you may wish to object on the following grounds:

• Public safety
• The prevention of crime and disorder
• The prevention of public nuisance
• The protection of children from harm

Your objection must be received by Barnet Council's Licensing Officer no later than Tuesday, 27th April.

Planning Application: 65-67 Oakleigh Park South

Planning Application B/01287/10 has been submitted by a local resident to convert the family home at number 65-67 Oakleigh Park South into 5 flats with 19 beds and only 5 car parking spaces.

This is one property, not two. Number 65 is the main residence and number 67 is a granny flat on the side. It was previously the home of Sir Alan Wilson who was an academic scientist as well as Chairman of Courtaulds and Glaxo. You may be interested to read his obituary and a comment by Lord Bullock.

There are two main reasons why you may wish to object:

1. If this application is granted it will change the character of the Oaklegh Park estate and set a precedent for further flat conversions.

2. That just 5 parking spaces for up to 19 residents is woefully inadequate particularly on a stretch of road that is already made dangerously narrow by having commuters' cars parked outside.

Objections must be submitted to Barnet Planning by 5th May and you will shortly receive a flyer by post about this development together with a letter of objection that you may wish to use.
