12 December – The Inspector has issued a further set of actions for the council to respond to (PDF, 156.41 KB), in addition to the agreed Stage 3 actions previously published. The Inspector is not inviting, nor will he accept, any correspondence about these actions from interested parties.
11 December – The agreed actions for the council from the Stage 3 hearing sessions (PDF, 309.92 KB) have now been published.
4 December – The Inspector has published the responses to the government’s ‘New Towns’ announcement. Personal details have been removed, along with any comments the Inspector considered inappropriate.
To keep things efficient, the Inspector has accepted all responses. However, some responses go beyond the original question. These include repeated points from earlier submissions, comments that add nothing new, or remarks about issues not related to the Inspector’s enquiry.
The Inspector wants to make it clear that only comments relevant to the question (how the announcement affects the examination process or responds to the council’s original letter), will be considered. The Inspector will not have regard to these other matters raised.
The Inspector is not asking for any further comments on these responses at this time.
19 November – In response to the Inspector’s Stage 3 MIQs and actions resulting from discussions on Matter 2, the council has provided the Inspector with a letter from the Greater London Authority (PDF, 66.12 KB). The Inspector has accepted this, and it has been added to the examination library.
The Inspector is not inviting any comments on this document currently. If further action or more information is needed, the Inspector will make this clear in due course.
22 October – To assist in discussions relating to Policy DE11 Landscape Design, the Inspector asked the council to produce a plan illustrating the areas of special character (PDF, 8438.19 KB).

16 October – The council has responded to the Inspector’s request (IN11) for their position on the 'New Towns announcement'.
The Inspector is now inviting comments on this letter from interested parties who previously made representations on the Chase Park (Policy PL10) and Crews Hill (Policy PL11) allocations at the Regulation 19 stage.
These comments should be related only to the points made in the council’s letter and any potential implications of the New Towns announcement for the examination. This should not be used as an opportunity to reopen previous discussions on these sites nor introduce new arguments or evidence outside the scope of the New Towns announcement.
Responses should be no more than 1,500 words and should be provided to the Programme Officer by 5pm on 7 November 2025.
The Inspector’s other guidance on written statements still stands, including where it may be beneficial for people or organisations to issue joint response if it is more efficient (though the word limit still applies). Responses should also include the word count at the end.
Any responses which exceed the limit, or which go beyond the scope of the request, may be returned.
Once the Inspector has considered the responses he will decide whether any further actions are necessary, including the need for additional hearing sessions.

Enfield Local Plan – Regulation 19 consultation
Update: The Enfield Local Plan documents were submitted to the Secretary of State for examination on Tuesday 6 August 2024.
The Regulation 19 Consultation Period ran from Thursday 28 March to Monday 20 May 2024 and has now concluded. Thank you to those who responded.
The purpose of the Regulation 19 consultation is to provide an opportunity for representations to be made on the amendments to the local plan before it is examined by a planning inspector. In accordance with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the planning inspector will consider all comments on the plan that are made within the consultation period.
The council is currently processing Representations made at Regulation 19 Stage. All representations received during the representation period will be sent to the Planning Inspectorate together with the draft Local Plan and supporting documentation and will also be made publicly accessible as part of the examination.
Upon submission, the Planning Inspectorate will conduct an independent review of the plan and the representations made, to determine whether the plan is sound. This is called an Examination in Public.

Consultation on the Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) accompanying the Regulation 18: Enfield Local Plan Main Issues and Preferred Approaches also ran at the same time.
The IIA comprises Sustainability Appraisal (SA) incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Health Impact Assessment (HIA), Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA), Community Safety Impact Assessment (CSIA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA).
The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes regulations (2004) the National Planning Policy Framework requires that all development plan documents are subject to a sustainability appraisal.
The sustainability appraisal is needed to consider and communicate the key sustainability issues and effects of emerging policies and any reasonable alternatives. It runs alongside the development of a plan and informs the ongoing decision-making process. The document consulted on is a record of the appraisal work carried out to date.
