Building Enfield’s next chapter: the partners we want to work with.
Updated: Oct 17
Enfield has ambition. It has opportunity. And it has the scale to deliver.
What do you want to bring to Enfield?
Perhaps you are considering a development site.
You may own land with longer-term potential.
You could be looking for your next business location, exploring an investment opportunity or developing new infrastructure.
Whatever brings you to Enfield, we want to hear what you could bring to the borough.
Delivering good-quality homes, including homes local people can afford.
Creating modern employment space and supporting a more productive economy.
Bringing innovation and practical solutions to lower-carbon development.
Strengthening town centres, neighbourhoods and public spaces.
Engaging with communities and understanding local priorities.
Creating lasting opportunities through jobs, skills and local supply chains.
Enfield has the opportunity.
Now we are building the partnerships that can turn it into delivery.
But transforming that opportunity into homes, jobs, infrastructure and thriving places will take partnership.
That is why we want to work with developers, investors, landowners, employers and infrastructure providers who see the potential in Enfield and share our ambition for its future.
We are not simply looking for organisations that want to invest in the borough.
We want partners who want to invest in its success.
Partners who understand the places they are working in. Who recognise the importance of delivering for existing communities as well as creating new ones. And who are ready to bring ideas, expertise and investment to the table.
Because Enfield’s next chapter will be built together.
Developers who want to create great places.
Enfield, Delivers has significant opportunities for new homes and neighbourhoods, but housing growth is about much more than numbers.
We want to work with developers committed to creating good-quality homes and well-designed places where people can build their lives.
That means delivering a diverse housing offer, including homes that local people can afford, while thinking about everything that makes a neighbourhood work: green space, transport, infrastructure, community facilities, public realm and access to jobs and services.
We value developers who engage early, understand local priorities and are prepared to work collaboratively through the development process.
Investors looking for long-term opportunity.
Enfield's position within London gives investors access to one of the world's leading cities alongside opportunities for regeneration, employment, infrastructure and economic growth.
We want to build relationships with investors who recognise the long-term potential of the borough.
That could mean supporting major regeneration, investing in employment locations, unlocking strategic sites or backing infrastructure that creates the conditions for further growth.
We are particularly interested in investment that delivers lasting value: strengthening Enfield's economy while creating opportunities that reach the people and businesses already based here.
Landowners ready to unlock potential
Some of Enfield's biggest opportunities will require landowners, the Council, developers and investors to work together.
We want to have early conversations with landowners about what could be possible.
Whether you own a single development opportunity or land forming part of a wider strategic area, collaboration can help create a clearer route from ambition to delivery.
By bringing different interests together early, we can explore how sites contribute to the wider vision for Enfield and help identify the infrastructure, partnerships and investment required to unlock their potential.
Employers who want to grow with Enfield.
Economic growth is central to our ambitions.
Enfield already has a diverse business base and important employment areas, and we want to attract businesses that can become part of the borough's long-term economic story.
We want to work with established employers, growing businesses and organisations considering Enfield as their next location.
Our ambition is to create modern employment space, support productivity and attract businesses operating in the sectors that can drive Enfield's economy forward.
But the impact should extend beyond buildings.
We want employers who can create jobs, build skills, develop careers and strengthen local supply chains.
Businesses that choose Enfield should be able to grow here — and help the borough grow with them.
Infrastructure providers that can unlock growth
Growth needs infrastructure.
Transport. Energy. Digital connectivity. Utilities. Schools. Healthcare. Community facilities.
As Enfield evolves, we want to work closely with the organisations responsible for the infrastructure that will make new development and economic growth possible.
Early collaboration is particularly important.
By understanding future requirements and planning collectively, we can identify constraints sooner, find practical solutions and ensure infrastructure investment supports the places and communities that are emerging around it.
Partners bringing new solutions.
The challenges facing cities and boroughs are changing. Development needs to become more sustainable. Buildings need to perform better. Infrastructure needs to become smarter. Places need to respond to changing patterns of work, movement and everyday life.
That means Enfield must be open to new ideas.
We want to work with organisations bringing innovation and practical solutions to lower-carbon development, whether through construction methods, energy, technology, transport, design or new models of investment and delivery.
Innovation matters most when it moves from idea to implementation. Enfield wants to be a place where that can happen.
Creating opportunities for Enfield's communities.
Investment should leave something behind.
Alongside new homes, buildings and infrastructure, growth can create jobs, apprenticeships, training opportunities and new markets for local businesses.
That is why we want partners who will engage with Enfield's communities and understand the priorities of the people who live here.
Social value should not be an afterthought.
By thinking about employment, skills and local procurement from the beginning, investment can have an impact that extends far beyond an individual development.
The strongest partnerships will create opportunities today while building capacity for tomorrow.
Strengthening our town centres and neighbourhoods.
Enfield is made up of distinct places, each with its own identity.
From town centres and established neighbourhoods to industrial locations and major regeneration areas, investment needs to respond to its surroundings.
We want partners who recognise the importance of placemaking, creating attractive public spaces, strengthening local centres, improving connections and contributing positively to the character of the borough. Development should add to a place rather than simply occupy it.
An active partner in delivery.
Partnership works both ways.
For organisations considering investment or development in Enfield, our role is not simply to tell you what we want.
We want to understand what you need to deliver.
Enfield Council is committed to working constructively with partners, bringing together teams across planning, regeneration, economic development, housing and infrastructure to help opportunities progress.
We want conversations to start early.
Because the earlier we understand your ambitions, the greater the opportunity to identify challenges, bring the right people together and establish a route towards delivery.
If you have an idea, an opportunity or an ambition for Enfield, talk to us. Email invest@enfield-delivers.co.uk to start a conversation with us today.
Together, we can deliver Enfield's next chapter.
