From a report to a Barnet Council committee:

Edgware Road road/rail aggregates yard by June 2018 – or sooner
- The council has agreed delivery of DB Cargo’s new rail freight facility for aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed stone, recycled rubble etc) by 30 June 2018.

- The report doesn’t mention DB Cargo’s application (ref 17/1254/FUL) to use that site “for a temporary period of 18 months” as a rail freight facility for aggregates. Barnet’s website isn’t showing a hearing date for that application.
