Plots 53/54
View work schedule
Plots 53 and 54 will be the site of 47 new homes, between Brent Terrace and Clitterhouse Crescent in NW2. 30 homes are being built on Plot 53 and a further 17 homes on Plot 54.
A range of two, three, and four-bedroom homes will be built. 31 will be for secure tenants of Whitefield Estate and 16 will be home to resident leaseholders who wish to enter shared equity ownership with our partners L&Q. We also have a dedicated page for Whitefield Estate residents here.
The height of the buildings will be ground floor plus two storeys. There will be 47 parking bays, which is one new space for each of the homes. There will also be a doorstep play area for everyone to use.
Planning permission for the new homes was granted in 2014.
Traffic management on Brent Terrace
To address concerns regarding increased parking issues on Brent Terrace and to prevent non-resident parking in the area in the short-term, the Council has introduced an Experimental Controlled Parking Zone as an interim parking control measure. The Experimental Controlled Parking Zone is in operation every day of the week between the hours of 8am to 10pm. The control hours will be reduced to 9am to 6pm from October 2023.
As part of the Experimental Controlled Parking Zone works, we have installed signage as well as added and refreshed road markings.
More information about the Experimental Controlled Parking Zone and parking at the Brent Cross Cricklewood area can be found here.

NMA – change to layout of replacement homes
L&Q submitted an application (known as a section 96A or ‘Non Material Amendment’) to Barnet Council. This includes some minor changes to the plots and hard and soft landscaping specifications for the replacement homes on Plots 53 and 54.
