Enfield Council is planning to build 10,000 homes and create 8.2 hectares of parkland in the Lea Valley over the coming 25 years.

The main project will be the delivery of the central boulevard passing through the whole of the development, stretching from the new Meridian Water Station to Lee Valley Regional,

The work, funded by the Council’s successful £156m Housing Infrastructure Bid to the government, will involve the construction of roads, bridges and flood mitigation measures, as well as electricity, gas, hot water, communications, water and sewage connections and hectares of new parkland.

Work continues to gather pace at Meridian Water.

This will see enabling works on this £250m phase one project start in the next few months.

Planning permission has also been granted to for a major new makerspace hub at Meridian Water to provide affordable workspace.

The decision to grant planning permission for the project means Building BloQs will move into the former vehicle testing building which will be converted to provide more than 30,000 square feet of manufacturing workshop space with capacity for more than 1,000 people at a time.
