3. Part of the land to be appropriated includes land which has the potential to consist of or form part of open space within the meaning of Section 122 (2A) of the Local Government Act 1972 being land used for the purposes of public recreation.

A plan showing the land to be appropriated including the land which has the potential to consist of or form open space, is available for inspection at the Civic Centre Reception, London Borough of Enfield, Silver Street, Enfield EN1 3XA between the hours of 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) and between 9.30am - 5pm, Tuesday to Thursday at Boundary Hall, Snell’s Park, N18 2SY.

In the event that the Cabinet of the Council resolve 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 phases 0-1 of 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 joyceandsnells@enfield.gov.uk, in good time before the final date for written representations referred to below.

Any person who wishes to object to the proposed appropriation or any person who considers that they have the benefit of a legal right which might be interfered with or breached by the development of the land and who wishes to object or comment on the proposed appropriation before a decision is reached is invited to write to joyceandsnells@enfield.gov.uk to arrive not later than 5pm on 2nd September 2025 including details of the property and the rights concerned.

Comments received by that date and time will be considered by the relevant Cabinet Members and officers before a decision is taken.
