The redevelopment is part of Enfield Council’s wider housing program which aims to regenerate the Edmonton area to provide safer and better quality living conditions for current and future residents.

The council plans to engage a main contractor in the coming months to start the project.

To minimize disruption to the community, the property will be redeveloped in stages, with new accommodation ready before residents move out of their current homes.

The new homes are designed to meet the required quality standards in terms of fire safety, security, energy efficiency and space.

Existing secure tenants and occupiers will receive housing in the redeveloped building, alongside opportunities for construction jobs and integrated training throughout the project.

The scheme is expected to generate up to 5,010 jobs and nearly 605 apprenticeships, contributing significantly to local employment.

Enfield Council has also secured around £150 million ($162 million) in grants from the Mayor of London to support the development.

Enfield Council Housing Cabinet Member Councilor Ayten Guzel said: “We will deliver well-designed, good quality, affordable housing, catering for households at a wide range of income levels.

“I am especially pleased to see the provision of much-needed family-sized housing that will help alleviate overcrowding in our neighborhood and lead to the creation of a strengthened community in Upper Edmonton.”

According to Enfield Council, the project has received support from local residents, as demonstrated by a 2021 residents’ ballot, where 78.5% of participants voted in favor of the redevelopment.
