The regeneration of Joyce and Snell’s presents a unique opportunity to transform the lives of residents in Upper Edmonton. Comprehensive regeneration led by Enfield Council will transform an estate suffering from crime and antisocial behaviour into a welcoming place to live. Over a 15-year period, 800 homes will be replaced by approximately 2,000 homes, with at least half affordable. There will be high quality new homes for all existing Council tenants and a variety of intermediate and private homes. The development will feature parks and a new square with community hub that will become the focal point of Upper Edmonton. Residents have supported the Council’s proposals through a strong ‘Yes’ vote in the recent GLA ballot.

Enfield Local Plan:
Enfield Council is embarking on an exciting journey of urban and rural evolution with the comprehensive update of its new Local Plan. The emerging new Enfield Local Plan (ELP) will guide the trajectory of the borough’s spatial development well into the future up to 2041 and beyond.
At the core, the ELP represents the borough’s roadmap, guiding the course of the borough’s growth. Anchored by careful contemplation, the plan assesses the forthcoming needs for development, both in terms of quantity and diversity, and orchestrates the ‘when’ and ‘how’ of these developments.
Central to its core is the principle of sustainability. The ELP adeptly balances growth imperatives with a steadfast commitment to preserving, enhancing and celebrating the intrinsic local character. It weaves a narrative of mindful development, where each aspect contributes to the borough’s unique elements without diminishing its charm.
As Enfield steps confidently into the future, the new Enfield Local Plan promises a compelling journey – with a blend of expansion, sustainability and a steadfast respect for the borough’s cherished places.
