Your piece on the Barnet Copthall consultation (Edgware & Mill Hill Times, October 11) contains a serious inaccuracy.

The article states the aim of the consultation was to "provide potential developers with a set of parameters before they submit an application".

This is untrue. The council has repeatedly made it clear that it has no intention of allowing development of the Copthall site, not least because it would be contrary to Green Belt policy.
