Proposed Museum extension turned down

1/12/2018

0 Comments

 
We are sorry to announce that Barnet Council’s Main Planning Committee has refused planning permission for our proposed extension at the rear of Barnet Museum. We are particularly disappointed at the very negative way in which Committee viewed the Museum, and the apparent inaccuracies in the Planning Officer’s report, which we were given no opportunity to counter.
The Extension would have given us desperately needed extra space for exhibitions, children’s activities and storage (we have had to turn items away because of lack of space); allowed us for the first time to install proper disabled access to the Museum; and would have benefited the local economy by creating more business and tourist interest. It would have taken up less than 0.5% of the open space of the Court House Gardens park (it is a secluded 0.5%, often used by people drinking and taking drugs – the Police have also testified to this).
