London mayor approves £4.5bn Brent Cross regeneration
Mayor of London Boris Johnson has approved a £4.5 billion proposal to substantially regenerate Brent Cross.
The plan includes expansion of the Brent Cross Shopping Centre as well as a new train station and a number of community facilities.
It is just one of a number of multi-billion pound developments taking place across Greater London, with proposals for redevelopments of New Covent Garden Market and estates in Tower Hamlets just some of the plans put forward.
Career Structure believes the development will bring around 27,000 jobs to the area.
Mr Johnson said the Brent Cross plans will be successful in "transforming the quality of life of thousands of Londoners".
He added: "Having carefully considered the proposal I am satisfied that the application fulfils the need to have the kinds of transport links that will bring fluidity and rejuvenation to Brent Cross."
The news of the mayoral approval of the extensive Brent Cross redevelopment will be of interest to people looking for property to rent in the London borough of Barnet, with more jobs coming to the area as well as more amenities and attractions.
