Planning History


Green Belt Destruction Mill Hill NW7 - Planning History
This is not the first time the boys school has tried to relocate to Copthall, in 1992 a planning application was submitted:
Proposal: Erection of a three-form entry secondary school with parking for 48 cars and construction of 2 vehicular accesses to Page Street.
Decision: Refuse

Reasons for refusal were given as:

  1. The proposed development is not compatible with the principle functions and character of the Green Belt
  2. The proposed development would be prejudicial to the residential and visual amenities that occupiers of neighbouring properties may reasonably expect to enjoy.


Scoping Application – July 2016 Refused
