- Protect and enhance Enfield Town as the main location in the Borough for new office development with particular emphasis on accommodating office floorspace around Enfield Town station, as well as the renewal and modernisation of existing offices. The Enfield Town Area Action Plan will provide more detail on the proposed mix of uses around Enfield Town station, including the amount of office floorspace;
- Protect office uses in Southgate town centre, encouraging renewal and modernisation of existing premises and the development of new premises, where there is evidence of demand;
- Support the conversion of surplus offices in other centres to other uses, where it can be demonstrated that there is no demand for offices in this location;
- Promote mixed use development with office uses in town centres or sites within strategic growth areas that are subject to a comprehensive master plan, where it is demonstrated that higher value uses, such as residential, are required in order to make office development viable;
- Support proposals for the provision of suitable space for small businesses, such as small managed workspace, with flexible lease terms and fixed costs for an all-inclusive service.
