Enfield Council’s Cabinet has approved the next steps for the redevelopment of the Joyce and Snell’s Park estate, confirming quicker construction of future phases of the programme.
Construction of the first 270 affordable homes will begin in early summer, with Hill Partnership now formally appointed to build the initial phases.
Preparatory works have already begun. The demolition of old garages has been completed and a new playground opened in October 2025, signalling positive change on the ground and the start of a new chapter for the neighbourhood.
Cabinet has also agreed a revised phasing plan that will speed up the next stage of redevelopment. The forthcoming phase will now build 220 homes instead of 148, bringing more affordable homes forward earlier for estate residents.
The regeneration will replace outdated buildings with more than 2,000 modern, safe, and sustainable homes. It will also create improved green spaces, new play areas and better‑designed streets which will help to build a stronger, safer and more welcoming community for both existing and future residents.
Cllr Ayten Guzel, Cabinet Member for Housing, said:
“Achieving the promises the Council made to residents at the time of the ballot is our priority. This is a major step forward for those residents and for Joyce and Snell’s Park. By agreeing the contract with Hill and revising the phasing of the scheme, we are not only delivering on those promises, but speeding up the programme to bring forward more council homes, more quickly.
“Working with Hill on these first phases, we will improve the estate into a modern neighbourhood with high‑quality homes and improved community spaces. Residents are already seeing progress on site, and this decision ensures the momentum continues.
“We are committed to making a lasting difference, not just by providing thousands of much‑needed social rent homes, but by creating a place that people are proud to call home.”
The Council will continue to work closely with residents as the scheme progresses and will provide further updates as construction begins.
The decision to accelerate delivery and appoint Hill was taken at Cabinet on Wednesday 25 February and is subject to call‑in.
