New access road and car parking facilities with maintenance shed, Barnet Cemetery And Memorial Gardens, Milespit Hill, London NW7 2RR: Application 14/08161/FUL
An application was made for a Mausoleum building in the Green Belt, which caused considerable local concern and to which the Society objected. The application has been withdrawn and we await further developments. Subsequently an application for the cemetery infrastructure without the mausoleum was refused in October 2015. There has been an appeal the result of which is now known. The applicant’s appeal was upheld and so the new internal road, parking area and maintenance shed can go ahead. Access to the cemetery area will have to be through the adjacent Westminster Cemetery site. The proposed new access onto Milespit Hill was an issue and the Inspector has ruled that this should be used only in emergencies, and not as a regular point of access.

More recently, in January 2023, an application 22/6038/FUL was made for a new internal access road, junction, car parking facilities, grounds maintenance building, attenuation pond and road embankments. The main problem with this application is that the access road would come out onto Milespit Hill, just below the International School, and this would be contrary to what the Inspector ruled at Appeal. As of September 2023 the application is still undecided.
