Plans have been approved for a new apartment scheme in Barnet.

The eight-floor retail and residential development will be created at 60 West Hendon Broadway.

Features include demolishing an existing tile and bath retail store to create 48 new apartments as well as a ground floor/first floor retail showroom.

Property consultancy McBains Cooper has provided architectural design, cost management, strategic monitoring and evaluation, along with structural and civil engineering advice for the project.

The scheme is part of a number of new developments in the Barnet area, which includes Hendon Waterside, Beaufort Park and the proposed plans for the redevelopment of the Brent Cross Shopping Centre.

Mark Leeson, director of Design at McBains Cooper, said: "We had to work hard with Barnet to develop a scheme which balanced the need for new housing with the very urban nature of the site, bounded by the A5 to the west and the M1/ Thameslink main line into Kings Cross.

"We're very pleased that the Council recognised the high standard of design that we have achieved and look forward to working with the client now to implement the scheme over the course of the next year or so."
