Vision for Enfield's future

Overarching plans to regenerate, develop or improve four key areas in Enfield have been unveiled at a conference, hosted and arranged by North London Business.

Cllr John Jackson, cabinet lead for regeneration and employment said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for Enfield – the borough is alive with opportunity and it is our aim to develop that potential to the full to make Enfield one of the best boroughs to live and work in as well as provide new opportunities to make our communities prosperous and more equal.”

The four key areas being targeted for development and regeneration are:

Enfield Town – some of the issues and options being explored include looking at the location of shopping, leisure facilities, provision of schools and transport. Click here for map.

The Council is in the process of drawing up an Action Plan for each area as well as a Core Strategy that gives a visual overview for the future development of the borough.

The draft Core Strategy and Enfield Town Area Action Plan are out for consultation now and are available on the Council’s website, www.enfield.gov.uk.

Consultations on the areas are expected to complete by 2008 with the Council adopting the plans by 2009/2010.

Enfield Council chief executive, Rob Leak, said: “Enfield is a great place to live, but we want it to be better. We want Enfield to be a place with opportunity, jobs, good housing and great open spaces with a strong and prosperous local economy.”

Chief executive of North London Business, Gary Ince, said: “We are opening the door on one of London’s best kept secrets. Enfield is not only a great location for business but it also offers the best of both worlds with all the benefits of city living within the most wonderful countryside setting full of open spaces and parks on its very own doorstep.”

“The conference was a huge success with over 100 property professionals taking part and was instrumental in showcasing all that Enfield has to offer, highlighting the investment possibilities and generating a lot of interest from developers on the area’s potential.”
