About Dollis Valley

The Dollis Valley Estate lies to the north of the borough on the outskirts of Chipping Barnet near High Barnet, the last station on the Northern Line.

The estate is on a south facing slope within an area of traditional suburban housing with excellent views across the adjacent green belt, and designated as both a Countryside Conservation area and Heritage Land.

The estate was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s and is made of two and three storey houses, and five storey blocks of flats and maisonettes. It suffers from many of the problems associated with post-war estates.

The regeneration of the Dollis Valley estate will create a new integrated community by replacing the existing multi-storey homes on the estate with a new mixed tenure housing development. The scheme also includes the re-provision of community and children’s day care facilities.
