Monkey Puzzle Nurseries
Barnet Council's Planning Committee deferred a decision on Monkey Puzzle Nurseries' play area application in October 2026 due to noise and parking concerns.
Barnet Council's Planning Committee deferred a decision on an application by Monkey Puzzle Nurseries for an outdoor play area at Langley House in October 2026. The committee cited concerns over potential noise and parking issues. Planning officers had recommended refusal of the proposal, which seeks to convert part of an existing office car park into a play space.
The application is for an outdoor play area to serve a day nursery that can accommodate up to 120 children and 35 staff. The deferral means the committee will revisit the plans at a later date to address the raised issues.
