A council with a clear direction.
We are building on Enfield’s industrial strengths, entrepreneurial communities and connections across London and the UK Innovation Corridor.
Our priority growth sectors are future-facing manufacturing, logistics and wholesale, construction and net zero, and creative industries. Alongside housing and regeneration, these sectors give partners a clear starting point for investment that supports the borough’s long-term ambitions.
Start the planning conversation early.
Good development starts with a clear understanding of the site, its potential and the requirements that shape it.
Our planning team offers pre-application advice to help you understand relevant policies, identify key considerations and prepare your proposal. Early engagement can bring design, infrastructure, consultation and developer contributions into the conversation before a formal application is submitted.
For larger or more complex schemes, Planning Performance Agreements offer a structured way to work together, bringing applicants, planning officers and key stakeholders around an agreed programme.
Shape places that work
for Enfield.
We want development that responds to its surroundings and serves the people who use it.
Enfield’s Design Review Panel brings independent expertise in architecture, placemaking, landscape and sustainability. Early review can help strengthen proposals, improve public spaces and protect the character that makes Enfield distinctive.
From individual sites to new neighbourhoods, quality matters at every scale.
Connect investment with local opportunity.
The value of growth reaches beyond a completed building.
We want to work with partners who create good jobs, support local suppliers and open pathways into employment. Apprenticeships, work experience and training can connect residents with the opportunities investment brings.
Our Growth Plan prioritises closer working between employers, colleges and training providers, so business needs and local skills develop together.
Work together on the conditions for growth.
Successful development depends on transport, energy, digital connections and community infrastructure.
Our Growth Plan sets out how we will work with infrastructure providers, developers and major occupiers to address constraints and coordinate future needs. It also commits us to improving coordination across the borough, creating clearer pathways and more responsive support for investment and delivery.
Bring us your proposal early. Help us understand what it needs and what it can contribute.
Let's move your plans forward, together.
