Rear-Alley Access & Delivery Logistics — EN4
EN4 straddles Barnet and Enfield boroughs, taking in New Barnet's rear-alley terraces, East Barnet's flat 1930s semis and Hadley Wood's larger plots.
Frequently asked — EN4
Does rear alley access make an EN4 job cheaper?
It can reduce labour time on delivery and carry, though it doesn't change material costs.
Why do alley boundaries get disputed in New Barnet?
The alley strip's ownership isn't always clear from a quick look at the deeds — it can belong to one property, be shared, or be a right of way, and that needs confirming before fencing goes up.
Do East Barnet and Hadley Wood properties have the same alley access?
No — the rear-alley layout is specific to New Barnet's terraced streets; East Barnet's semis and Hadley Wood's larger plots are accessed from the garden directly.
