The Agudas Israel Housing Association (AIHA) has "big ideas" for developments in Barnet, according to chief executive Ita Symons.

Planning permission has been received to redevelop the Yamor House complex, near the junction of Golders Green Road and the North Circular.

Although the association is involved in other projects in the area, "this one is different in as much as it is our own", Mrs Symons said. "It's not through another housing association or developer."

The intention is to develop the site into a six-story residential block with 16 flats ranging from one-bedroom to four-bedrooms. Building work should be "well under way" within six months, Mrs Symons added, with completion in two years.
