This type of development does nothing to improve the Quality of life for the Residents in New Barnet. All it does is tear out the heart of a community - and leaves the area dead!

This development is TOO LARGE + unnecessary for the area. Ugly housing, no character. Very ESSENTIAL services being lost such as Post Office + Health Services + Garage. New Barnet does not need this Tescos Development!

We do not need another superstore - we have Sainsburies. I am against Tesco. It would also cause too much traffic & alter the character of New Barnet

The height of the store & flats will upset contours of the area

NO GO TESCO - Don't know of one New Barnet resident in favour of your proposals. Better call it a day!!

EMERGENCY VEHICLES all of these come down E.B. Road. If plans to send ambulances to Barnet Hospital instead of Chase Farm goes ahead how will they get through?

Absolutely not. We have enough shops + 1/2 bed empty flats already.

We cannot allow any development which is higher than 3 storeys as it will spoil the whole area. We do not need any more supermarkets & our roads cannot cope with the extra traffic.

This will look like a tired shopping precinct in 10 years time. Totally characterless!

More community facilities. A bit less commerce.

Totally unworkable in terms of traffic, disruption before + after. Harmful to important services. Using Victoria Road is impractical for access.

I agree something needs to be done, it is all run down but this project is not the solution, just don't think viable, 2 more supermarkets the traffic alone day + night.

Post Office will go - Disable will have to travel on buses & if in electric wheelchair this is not feasible.

EVERY ROAD in the area will be blocked - not just E.B Road. Every local resident will suffer from this degradation of the area.

Definitely against it!
- Don't need more shops of this scale in the area
- Will ruin sense of Community / Individuality
- No proposals to put anything back into local community - esp Youth provision
- What about road congestion - they can't move the railway bridge!

Tesco Scheme
Massive overdevelopment
Traffic saturation now.
One supermarket enough for NB
Destruction of established businesses
Will change townscape for the worse

This development would destroy many of our important community facilities, such as post office, dentist. The number of flats (probably buy-to-let) would impact hugely on school places, doctors, dentists, etc.

Local roads cannot sustain extra traffic engendered

We do not need extra traffic supermarkets. No thought to traffic comming up Park Rd. No rest even at weekends!

Both schemes are totally unnecessary - we do not need another supermarket or flats or the resultant increased traffic.

Tesco's plan would be a disaster for New Barnet. We need the existing small businesses, not another supermarket.

There is absolutely NO NEED to have THREE major s/markets within walking distance of each other.

I am totally against this! There is already enough supermarkets in the area.
The traffic is already poor with the proposals it would be a joke.

Completely unacceptable - It will destroy the distinctiveness of the area, and turn it into a characterless retail morgue ruined by excessive traffic. This kind of mindless unecological development must stop.

Urban repair who pays the rate payers not the s/markets Who pays for drains, roads etc not the developer us.

I was appalled at the Tesco Proposals - Not at all in keeping with New Barnet dimensions - We do NOT need another Supermarket + TESCO will just drive out Sainsburys.

The scheme is corporate greed
Lets have a park

We do not want any more Tesco Asda

We do not have the roads in the area to support the volume of traffic this scheme would create. We already have enough supermarkets and shops

Absolutely atrocious!
Far too tall - no renovation of characterful Victorian street front
Too large a development for the area
Unwanted and unneeded
Leave our local businesses alone.

We don't need this!
It will destroy the area.

Corporate greed in the extreme.
We don't need Tesco or Asda.

Hideous!
We need housing and small shops and a community!
NOT Tesco!

Prefer Tesco proposal but Asda a good second choice.

Tesco plans a big improvement on present mess on East Barnet Road.

Query comparison between Tally Ho. Pictures and reality.

Global organisation imposing their ideas! We don't need them. Loss of control for profit!!

Absolutely no Tesco!
Refuse to shop in Tesco out of principle!

Supermarkets don't enhance the environment - on the contrary - they demean the surrounding area!

It is awful to think that Tesco's so called "Ecological" plan is to destroy perfectly good buildings and houses to build this. The extra traffic and the threat to local amenities and businesses is unacceptable.

Absolutely NO!! - Local character destroyed - no facilities, shops, small businesses, young people, local people go where. The "false" impression of size, heights, minimisation of impact especially traffic 24 hrs x 600 parking places = ???

Sainsburys fulfils the needs of our community.
We do not want Tesco telling us that we need more flats. Aren't there enough in New Barnet. We don't need any more superstores.

What will happen to our New Barnet post office.

East Barnet Road needs re-generation, very run down now.

East Barnet people shop at Sainsburys. Asda Tesco are relying on customers coming by car!! If coming by car you can just as well go to B/wood P/bar Cockfosters etc

ASDA Less devastating than Tesco due to location but still enormous traffic problems for all the surrounding area.

ASDA Lesser of 2 evils - compared to Tesco's proposal, however still same concerns re traffic congestion problems + also don't need another large supermarket in the area. Also not proposing to put anything back in the community - esp re community safety + provision for youth services.

ASDA Traffic issues haven't been thought through properly. Still too big a development for the area. Better placed than Tescos.

Traffic is the major issue - Asda sounds preferable, but still a huge worry.

Asda less of problem, NO TO TESCO but in saying yes to Asda, the TRAFFIC PROBLEM needs sorting out badly (even if neither stores are built)
But also something to think about, if neither of the stores get the go ahead, who and what will we get if they sell their property.

Really pleased to see they have incorporated access to new JCOSS School in plans - see they are thinking about the community!

Asda site preferable to Tesco. IF we have to have one.

Asda scheme by far the less evil of the two.
Vehemently against Teso
Asda is only workable with enormous care in traffic planning

Huge traffic flow will impact on ALL surrounding roads. Preferable to the "faceless" Tesco development.

I am disabled - I like the local shops because they are small accessible they have everything I need and the community is huge - everyone knows one another. We don't want any development.

Take away the camouflage of the trees and what have you got - YUK!!

The Asda site is ideal for a large swimming pool or community leisure centre linked to the Park.

Traffic will be at a standstill. Christmas will be awful. 24 hr deliveries! STOP

ASDA scheme.
Overdevelopment.
Traffic saturation now.
One supermarket is enough for NB.

I am dreading it if these plans are accepted. The thought of having more traffic and the possibility of putting out small business in New Barnet and East Barnet is a horrifying prospect.

It will be like living on a retail park. We have enough supermarkets in this area to support the population - we need more community facilities - This is the responsibility of the council not - large retail outfits. We do not need years of upheaval with road changes etc.
Thank you for thinking about us but no thank-you to the re-development.

Not only do we not need anymore supermarkets we do not need anymore flats. We already have enough of them!

Access to this site is too restricted for this massive development. Housing is needed - more supermarkets are not!
How about renovating the park instead? Adding a cafe + other leisure facilities?

Traffic. Traffic. Traffic!
Has anyone from Asda or Tesco seen a large vehicle try and negotiate Victoria Road already.
I didn't move to New Barnet to live in a retail park.

Can't see how 2 x 24 hour supermarkets can be justified in an area already well served by food outlets. Some of the run down buildings on East Barnet Road, however could be replaced by attractive housing.
Also developing the site of the old call centre should be allowed, again, for housing.
I do believe New Barnet needs a facelift tho'!
The biggest problem is congestion due to a huge traffic increase and these grounds alone should surely prevent a major supermarket development.
We don't want New Barnet to become as congested as Southgate or the High Street.

Asda scheme corporate greed.
Let's have a park!

No thought.

No need for another supermarket. Asda 10 min away in Southgate.

We don't need another supermarket with increased traffic flow taking business from other shopping areas. We need better facilities, opportunities for local businesses + shops, buildings to enhance the area - this is a residential area NOT an out of town zone for shabby redevelopment.

I am against TESCO and ASDA!
We already have Sainsburys, Budgens and a mini Tesco and other small outlets.
This would ruin New Barnet for what it is now.

Another supermarket why? need?
Traffic, Traffic, Traffic.
Selfish.

Global business telling the community what they need. Loss of a community for - PROFIT!!

One superstore is enough in New Barnet - we have Sainsbury's.
No to Asda
No to Tesco
Lets have local shops back.

We don't need another supermarket. The roads will not support the traffic. What will happen to small shops? They are entitled to make a living too. It is not all about "BIG BUSINESS"!!

We don't want any more supermarkets. We are happy with our small village shops. We have a community.

No thought to traffic coming up Victoria Rd and Park Rd.
This was not in their model.
Extra traffic at weekend.
We don't need this.

We already have a Sainsbury's, it is uncessary to build 24/7 shops like Tescos and Asdas. We like our village how it is.

What a missed opportunity!
We need a leisure facility / swimming pool / cafe linked with Victoria Park! Not another supermarket.

Even one new supermarket development will ruin the area, so Asda too must be stopped. The scheme will not benefit the area, but just make wealthy shareholders in Asda wealthier still- and at great cost to us as residents and homeowners.

I agree with comment.
Wd. be a good idea to have leisure centre + swimming pool on ASDA site linked to Park.

The traffic will be a nightmare.
It's too big.

We don't want any more commuters to use New Barnet Station
Nor for stores to be open 24 hours
Shopping hours only
Why not have a small bus circular route to connect Oakwood + NBarnet via Brookhill Road - this would ease pressure on other buses at peak times + might free up village thorugh traffic. Thinking of when JCOSS opens

Allow the area to develop in a natural and environmentally-friendly way. Major imposed schemes are not the answer. Local people must decide what happens, not commercial concerns or secretive council bodies.

Keep it as a village please. Keep the community feel!

On the Asda site swimming pool / leisure centre would be wonderful - it could merge into the Park.

Preserve the "intimate" shopping experience (especially valued by old people)
Small units with normal shopping open hours (unsocial working hours disrupts family life)

On Asda site - suggest:
Leisure centre
Swimming pool
Skateboard park for the boys

Sustainability is the buzz word at the moment. We need more green spaces allotments to grow things and cherish nature.

Preserve village low rise buildings. Desparate need for leisure area & Olympic size swimming pool. Paris has more Olympic pools than there where [?]

We need improved facilities for the community - Leisure facilities - sports centre + swimming pool. A community hall/centre. More family housing with outside spaces. More for children/teenagers to do.

Preserve the old buildings - keep our Victorian heritage.

Some allotments locally

Create new allotment sites
Spaces for music / art / cultural venues

New Barnet is in chronic need of regeneration, but Tesco and Asda are not the way forward. It is heart-breaking to see the old photographs which show what was destroyed on the site where Sainsbury's stands. Half of the heart of NB is already destroyed - if TESCO effectively own the high street, the rest of it will be gone, with barely any trace of its history being left. And if Tesco or Asda do get the go ahead, what will become of the Sainsbury's site? They will probably move out, leaving the site to be used by who knows who? A further insult to the memory of New Barnet. We should find a way to work with what we've got.

Preserve village scale and feeling

Asda - suggest community development / leisure / limited housing - On Tesco site local businesses, farmers market, redevelopment to match local character + with local consultation unite ALL community affected by these plans.
