Dollis Valley Estate regeneration
Barnet Council is addressing the collapse of a deal for 208 affordable homes and debating the housing mix for the Dollis Valley Estate regeneration.
Barnet Council's Call-In Sub-Committee agreed in August 2026 to take no further action on a decision to acquire 208 affordable homes for the Dollis Valley Estate regeneration, after the Greater London Authority (GLA) withdrew its funding. Councillor Emma Whysall explained that the original decision, made by the Cabinet on July 21, 2026, was no longer viable.
Separately, Barnet Council's Finance and Growth Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee voiced concerns in July 2026 regarding the proposed housing mix for Phases 4 and 5 of the Dollis Valley Estate regeneration scheme. Councillors debated the business case, noting that the original scheme proposed 60% private and 40% affordable housing, while current proposals for these phases aim to deliver 187 social rented homes and 21 key worker rented homes.
