EL17 Redevelopment of the EcoPark Site

Redevelopment of the Edmonton EcoPark site will be delivered through the development proposals consented by the 2017 North London Heat and Power Plant Development Consent Order.

Development proposals at the EcoPark site, which are not consented under the 2017 DCO, or for any other Development Consent Orders made subsequently at the EcoPark site, are required to:

  • Provide enhanced and sustainable waste treatment facilities to meet the waste management needs of north London’s residents as part of a network of waste management sites;
  • Use a design-led approach to provide a distinctive and well-functioning environment with a high quality of design, landscaping materials and finish, integrated with proposals in the wider area of regeneration;
  • Minimise emissions to air and water, including carbon dioxide emissions, through the use of advanced waste management technologies, environmental improvements, and sustainable design and construction techniques such as green roofs and walls, in accordance with DMD policies;
  • Maximise energy and resource efficiency in construction and operation, and use design to facilitate materials reuse and recycling at end of life/decommissioning;
  • Operate within permitted limits on nuisance risks such as noise and odour;
  • Enable efficient and effective operation of the site to meet regulatory requirements for health and safety, air quality and environmental protection;
  • Mitigate local transport impacts, and support, where viable, sustainable forms of transport including water borne transport;
  • Ensure local access to employment and training opportunities, through employment initiatives and other measures including transportation improvements;
  • Be designed to be resilient to the impacts predicted as a result of climate change; and
  • Support the implementation of the Meridian Water Heat Network (MWHN) as set out in Policy EL26.

This policy should be read in conjunction with Core Strategy policies 20 and 22, DMD policies 51 and 52, London Plan Policy 5.5, and Enfield’s Edmonton EcoPark Planning Brief.
