More land bought for Meridian Water development in Enfield

Enfield Council has completed a land acquisition at Meridian Water with the purchase of the 2.1 acre VOSA site, giving the Council control of almost half the developable area.

The redundant vehicle testing site was acquired from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, acting for the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.

Cllr Doug Taylor, Leader of Enfield Council, said:  “Meridian Water will transform this part of the Borough, bringing thousands of new jobs into the area alongside new homes and beautiful public spaces, connected to a new railway station which will open in 2019.

“All of this is only made possible by the direct and active involvement of Enfield Council.  We are buying land now, rather than waiting for values to rise later, and I commend our team on completing yet another site purchase as we now own almost half the site.”

Previous site acquisitions include the 18 acre Willoughby Lane site, purchased in March 2015, where construction enabling is already underway and where the first 725 homes will be built alongside the new railway station.

The total Meridian Water regeneration area covers 210 acres, but this includes the rail lines, roads, waterways and the current Tesco and Ikea stores.
