Councillor Peter Zinkin
Barnet Council is awaiting a report on public engagement in major developments, a proposal seconded by Councillor Peter Zinkin.
Barnet Council is awaiting a report on public engagement in major developments, following a deputation in October 2025. Councillor Peter Zinkin seconded the proposal for this report, which aims to improve communication with residents and address concerns about transparency in the planning process. The report's timeline and presentation to the council depend on the next appropriate meeting.
In July 2025, Councillor Zinkin called in a planning application for roof and first-floor rear extensions at 38 and 40 Golders Manor Drive. He argued the alterations were in keeping with the area's character and would not impact neighbours or the street scene. Barnet Council's Planning Committee subsequently refused the application.
