Approval for flats to be built on Cockfosters station car park

Plans to build houses on the car park next to Cockfosters station at the end of the Piccadilly line have been approved by Enfield Council after the plans were modified to retain some of the car parking space. The previous scheme, a joint venture between Grainger and TfL, had seen the entire car park built upon to provide homes for rent, but there was strong local opposition to removing the car parking spaces and the size of the buildings.
The revised scheme retains 35 of the 336 parking spaces.
