Enfield council has received more than a dozen expressions of interest from developers hoping to build hundreds of new homes as part of the next phase of its £6bn Meridian Water regeneration scheme.

Nesil Caliskan, the north London council’s leader, said a decision on which firm would be building 250 homes on phase two of the 20-year Meridian Water scheme would be made in October.

All of the homes being built in the second phase will be affordable.
