I believe that the proposed plans by Holiday Inn are a joke and should be thrown out immediately by Barnet Council.
To erect an 83-bedroom hotel on the site of the Golden Eagle pub in Regents Park Road would detract from the area and make the roads far more congested than they already are.
The surrounding roads will see increased traffic, not only passing through, but parking there as well. The plans are proposing that 300 cars a day will pass through the site and that there will be three coaches and eight lorry deliveries a day an enormous number which will have a detrimental effect on the area - as well as being the total opposite of what Ken Livingstone and Transport for London are aiming at. The new plans by Transport for London for the development of Henley's Corner will hopefully make the area less congested. The proposed plans for a Holiday Inn will surely work against that and make the area more congested.
