The Optex Site, 15 East Barnet Road, and 7-11 Victoria Road are all owned by Tesco. Having given up on the option to build a new superstore or another Tesco Express in New Barnet, their developers, Spenhill, have looked at developing housing on these sites. This is a really positive move that will bring a number of derelict sites back into use with a range of family housing.
All the details of the site can be checked out on their website here. They are also hosting a public exhibition next week on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th at the Salvation Army Hall in Albert Road. I would strongly urge New Barnet residents to go along and have a look at what is proposed, ask questions and satisfy your self about the proposals.
