retrospective planning application
Concerns about a retrospective planning application at 38 Woolmead Avenue and its impact on the Welsh Harp SSSI are currently under review.
Concerns regarding a retrospective planning application for an outbuilding at 38 Woolmead Avenue (application 25/4177/RCU) and its potential impact on the Welsh Harp Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) were discussed at the Welsh Harp Joint Consultative Committee meeting in November 2025. The London Borough of Barnet's Planning Enforcement team, in collaboration with Natural England, is actively reviewing these matters.
According to the Public Reports Pack, the council was alerted to concerns in April 2023 regarding development from a property in Woolmead Avenue and its potential impact on the SSSI. An earlier retrospective planning application, 23/2569/RCU, for construction work already completed at a property on Woolmead Avenue, was refused.
