Crews Hill and Chase Park

Hyas have been providing support to the London Borough of Enfield since 2022 to consider the approach to two strategic placemaking areas proposed for release from the Green Belt as part the emerging New Enfield Local Plan. Support relates to the comprehensive redevelopment of the Crews Hill area to provide 5,500 homes, and an urban extension at Chase Park for 3,700 homes. Hyas support has included working alongside Planning Policy Officers to consider the proposals through the various stages of preparing the Local Plan including acting as the Council’s Expert Witness to consider the sites at the Examination in Public in 2025. Hyas led in the preparation of key background evidence base documents including site specific Topic Papers and Spatial Frameworks, leading and managing the work of a range of other consultancies. Hyas are continuing to provide supporting in relation to placemaking, infrastructure, viability and deliverability of the sites, working with a range of key stakeholders, including Government agencies and the scheme promoters to bring the schemes forward into delivery, including potential for a larger scale long term strategic approach.
