Ambitious plans to redevelop a North London estate in Edmonton with 2,000 new homes have got the go-ahead.

Enfield Council now aims to enter a contract with a principal contractor in the autumn for the phased redevelopment of the Joyce Avenue and Snell’s Park Estates.

Over a 20-year period, 795 homes will be replaced by the new homes, half of which will be genuinely affordable.

The entire redevelopment, which includes a community centre, nursery, energy centre, parks and landscaping, is expected to cost around £850m to deliver.

 

The tallest blocks on the regenerated estates would rise to up to 26 storeys – eleven storeys higher than the current maximum heights

It is expected that up to 5,000 jobs and 605 apprenticeship positions will be created through the delivery of the proposed development.

Enfield Council has received grant funding of £150m from the Mayor of London to aid the development. In a residents’ ballot held in 2021, 78.5% of the votes cast were in favour of the redevelopment of the estate.

All the new homes will meet quality standards for security, fire safety, energy efficiency and space. Existing secure tenants and resident leaseholders will be offered a home on the redeveloped estate and access to construction jobs and training will be embedded throughout the project lifetime.
