Silk House and Shoelands Court Redevelopment
Barnet Council is redeveloping Silk House and Shoelands Court for modern, affordable housing.
Barnet Council's Cabinet decided in November 2025 to redevelop Silk House and Shoelands Court in Colindale South. The project aims to provide modern, affordable housing for residents, as outlined in the Silk House and Shoelands Outline Business Case.
The decision to redevelop was made because the existing buildings were identified as having significant structural concerns that necessitate complete replacement rather than repair. Councillor Ross Houston, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Homes & Regeneration, stated that getting rid of these large panel system buildings is essential.
