Evidence and information we use to create and inform the Local Plan is known as the supporting Local Plan evidence base. You can read and download all of the proposed submission documents that form part of our supporting evidence base using the links below. This supporting evidence has been developed in line with the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance, and directly informed the content of the plan.
Topic papers
Topic papers are key documents which summarise the evidence used to prepare major policy areas and provide a justification of the approach. They do not provide new evidence but rather summarise and cross reference other evidence base documents.

Homes for all
Good quality, affordable and family housing is a key priority for the council. A range of analysis has been undertaken of both housing need and potential sites that can contribute to meeting this. This includes the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment which quantifies the availability of land in Enfield. The Enfield Local Plan sets out the ambition to deliver a minimum of 33,280 homes by 2041 in Enfield.

Economy
Making sure that Enfield’s economy works for everyone means delivering new employment floorspace which meets the needs of employees and occupiers. The Enfield Local Plan sets out to meet the need for employment floorspace by delivering 304,000 square metres of industrial floorspace alongside 40,000 square metres of town centre office space by 2041.

Town centres and high streets
Enfield’s high streets are at the heart of its communities. Creating desirable and engaging town centres is fundamental to their long term success. The policies in the Enfield Local Plan aim to ensure a diverse retail offer and customer choice within town centres and enhance their overall experience.

Environmental protection
Enfield borough has high environmental quality in most areas, which needs protecting, while certain areas would benefit from environmental improvements. Therefore, protecting the environment involves actions such as maintaining or improving air quality, and minimising or reducing nuisance affecting human senses, such as noise and odour.
Visitor studies also show that residents of Enfield travel out of the borough to protected areas, such as Epping Forest for recreation, and that this has impacts on those areas.

Infrastructure planning
Enfield’s Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) identifies the different types of infrastructure that will be required to meet future growth needs of the borough, and outlines the strategies for their delivery and phasing to support new development. The IDP is a living document which will be updated on a regular basis as new information and evidence become available.
