Council sets out its vision for North Circular

A comprehensive planning document setting out how Enfield Council plans to shape and transform land around the A406 in the south west part of the borough has been agreed.

The North Circular Area Action Plan was given the thumbs up by Cabinet on Wednesday 13 February and is to be considered by Full Council on the 27 February. The Action Plan aims to stimulate regeneration and guide investment opportunities either side of the North Circular Road corridor, while making sure future development meet the needs of existing and future communities.

The North Circular Area Action Plan which takes in a portion of the borough from New Southgate in the west and the start of the Great Cambridge Road approach to the east, is a vital regeneration area for the council, having suffered from years of uncertainty resulting from the failure of a number of A406 improvement schemes coming forward.

Now Enfield Council has unveiled the action plan setting out how it thinks the area should be developed following extensive consultation with residents which resulted in steps being taking to address residents' concerns about the density of housing, earmarked to be built in the area and the need for community infrastructure.

The Council expects that over both the short and longer term of 2026, the Area Action Plan will have guided improvements so that the area is transformed with hundreds of new homes, first rate community facilities, beautiful green spaces and high quality local shopping and business areas for residents.

The North Circular Area Action Plan will now be published for seven weeks between Friday 8 March and Friday 26 April, before it is submitted to central government for independent examination.
