First 300 homes of huge London regeneration scheme given green light
Planning permission has been granted for the first 300 homes of a huge £6bn regeneration scheme in north London.
Vistry Partnerships will work with Enfield Council to deliver 300 homes as part of Meridian One, the first phase of the major Meridian Water regeneration scheme.
A total of 10,000 homes are expected to be delivered as part of the Meridian Water masterplan.
Vistry Partnerships has plans to work with the local authority to bring forward a further 700 homes within phase one later this year, with 50% of the homes across Meridian One to be affordable tenures.
Construction of the initial 300 homes is due to begin in July and the first homes are due to be completed towards the end of 2022.

Nesil Caliskan, leader of Enfield Council, said: “This is a huge moment for Meridian Water and a giant leap forward for housing provision in Enfield.
“Meridian Water will provide thousands of good-quality affordable homes in our borough and will play a major role in tackling the housing shortage here.
“Enfield Council is at the forefront of major infrastructure and housebuilding schemes in our borough delivering affordable housing for residents.”
Matthew Taylor, managing director of London developments at Vistry Partnerships, said: “We’ve worked closely with Enfield Council to develop these plans and these new homes will play a significant role in revitalising the area for local people.
“Designed by Hawkins\Brown and HTA Design with Fisher Cheng and Urban Projects Bureau, Meridian One is a huge opportunity to transform this area into a vibrant place for people to live.”
