Enfield has a lot of under used and viable small sites.
The more that come forward the better.
Increasing land supply by weakening planning policy while housebuilders pull back delivery = drive to more profitable greenfield sites that are poorly located and, with reduced environmental safeguards, more harmful to nature ...

A huge amount of Enfield's Strategic Industrial Land is poorly used.
Good to see this begin to change.
Around 13,000 homes could be built at Meridian Water, and it received £200m in government funding to deliver just that.
Unfortunately Sadiq Khan and GLA have been blockers for nearly a decade, holding back the delivery of affordable housing.
This is exactly what we have been warning about. But oh no, anyone who objects to the changes is a selfish, privileged nimby, a zealot, a blocker, an elitist. Let's trash the lives of England's poorest communities, and smear anyone who complains. Thanks Keir. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The new town idea is the wrong approach. There are other ways to deliver more homes more quickly at Crews Hill and elsewhere in Enfield.
A new town will take decades to deliver and will not help those in need of social rent and affordable housing today.
