Enfield is a dynamic and progressive London Borough with excellent links to the city and central areas as well as Hertfordshire and Essex. With the focus for London’s future growth on outer London and recognising its location along the strategically important London - Stansted corridor, there are a range of significant development opportunities. We want your skills and vision to help realise their potential.

Headlining our ambitious growth agenda is the Borough’s largest residential led mixed use development at Meridian Water where our long term aspiration is to deliver upwards of 10000 new homes and 6000 jobs. Alongside new public open spaces, shops, community facilities and a new railway station, this is a key opportunity to shape and deliver a landmark residential scheme within London.

Our ambitions don’t end there as we are already in discussion on several estate regeneration and regeneration schemes across the Borough that contribute to our ambitious housing targets to deliver new high-quality mixed use residential led development which meets the modern housing and employment needs of our residents.
