The Planning Inspector has issued his post-hearing letter to the Council regarding the Enfield Local Plan. This letter sets out any further Main Modifications or steps required to make the Local Plan sound and legally compliant. You can read the letter on the  New Enfield Local Plan webpage.

Commenting on the letter, Enfield Council's Deputy Leader, Cllr Mike Rye, said:

“Enfield’s new administration was elected on a clear mandate to protect the borough’s heritage, character, and green spaces.

“We have inherited the draft Local Plan from the previous administration, having consistently expressed our concerns about its potential impact on Enfield.

“The Planning Inspector’s findings reflect some of those concerns, and we welcome the recommendation to remove certain development sites from the Green Belt.

“We will now review the findings in full before determining the right next steps for our borough.”
