Trent Park in the north of Enfield A plan to make Enfield “the greenest borough in London” has been approved – despite concerns it does little to protect the green belt. The council’s Blue and Green Strategy, which sets out a ten-year plan for the protection, management and expansion of the borough’s waterways and green spaces, was approved at the annual council meeting on Wednesday. It is designed to inform the development of future planning policies and help achieve the borough’s aim of being carbon-neutral by 2040. The plan aims to boost blue-green infrastructure in Enfield by 25 per cent, while “protecting and improving existing assets”.

Enfield Southgate MP Bambos Charalambous and Enfield North MP Feryal Clark warned the current plans would harm the character and heritage of the town and called for them to be re-worked. DWS, a division of Deutsche Bank, wants to build the flats above the Palace Exchange and Palace Gardens shopping centres as part of a redevelopment of the site.
