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.
