2 HOUSING SUPPLY AND LOCATIONS FOR NEW HOMES
The Council will make provision to exceed the housing target of 3,950 new homes as set out in the London Plan for the period 2007/8 to 2016/17, annualised as 395 dwellings per year.
A new housing target for the ten year period 2011/12 - 2020/21 is due to be published in a revised London Plan in 2010. The indicative capacity is likely to be in the range of 5,600 or, 560 dwellings per year. The Council will plan to meet this new target and for the fifteen year period from 2010/11 to 2024/25 will plan for the provision of approximately 11,000 new homes.
The focus for this housing growth will be the Upper Lee Valley Opportunity Area at Meridian Water in Central Leeside and Ponders End in North East Enfield. Elsewhere in the Borough growth will be planned in areas where physical and social infrastructure already exists or can be improved through planned development, including Enfield Town and along the North Circular Road corridor in the south west of the Borough. The following housing figures are indicative ranges in these broad areas over the plan period.
| Location & total dwelling numbers [Note, figures have been rounded] | 0-5 years (2010/11 - 2014/15) | 6-10 years (2015/16 - 2019/20) | 11-15 years (2020/21 - 2024/25) | 16-20 years 2025/26 - 2029/30 (beyond current Core Strategy time frame) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central Leeside (Meridian Water) Up to 5,000 | 100 | 650 | 2,250 | Up to 2,000 |
| Enfield Town 500 | 200 | 300 | ||
| North Circular (area including New Southgate) 1,500 - 2,000 | 450 | 550 | 500 | Up to 500 |
| Ponders End and Southern Brimsdown (NE Enfield) 1,000 | 250 | 750 | ||
| Other large sites (≥0.5ha) borough-wide 1,030 | 480 | 550 | ||
| Small sites (<0.5ha) 3,950 | 1,210 | 1,370 | 1,370 | |
| Time frame totals | 2,690 | 4,170 | 4,120 | Up to 2,500 |
| Cumulative totals | 2,690 | 6,860 | 10,980 | 13,480 |
Approximately 2,500 new homes are planned for the five year period 2025/26 - 2029/30 which is beyond the timescale of the current Core Strategy but are shown to illustrate the later phases of development at Central Leeside and in the North Circular area.
