A report proposing the appropriation of the land for planning purposes pursuant to section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 was considered at a meeting of the Councils Cabinet on 10th September 2025 with delegation to the Cabinet Member for Housing for a final decision on appropriation once all requirements had been met; and

In the event that the Cabinet Member for Housing resolves to appropriate the land for planning purposes, section 203 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 would enable relevant rights and interests (such as easements which benefit other land) and contractual restrictions on the use of the land (such as restrictive covenants) to be overridden when the development is carried out. Any person who holds the benefit of such a legal right and who suffers a relevant loss when development takes place would, in due course, be entitled to claim statutory compensation pursuant to section 204 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016.

Anyone who wishes to obtain further information should contact the Council by emailing Housing.Renewal@enfield.gov.uk in good time before the final date for written representations referred to below.
