Hill appointed to deliver first phases of 2,000-home regeneration scheme in Enfield

Hill Group has been appointed to deliver the first phases of a major estate regeneration scheme in north London.

Enfield Council’s cabinet on Wednesday agreed to award a contract to the housebuilder to deliver the first 270 homes across two blocks at the Joyce and Snell’s estate, with work expected to start in the summer.

Councillors also agreed to speed up the next stage of the project, which will deliver a block of 220 homes for affordable tenures instead of 148. The cabinet also agreed to appoint HTA Architects as the lead designer of this ‘block b’ phase.

Plans for the redevelopment of both estates were approved two years ago. The project is earmarked to cost more than £800million.

The wider project will see 795 homes demolished and replaced with a denser scheme of more than 2,000 homes in blocks of up to 26 storeys tall.

Ayten Guzel, cabinet member for housing at Enfield Council, said: “This is a major step forward for those residents and for Joyce and Snell’s Park. By agreeing the contract with Hill and revising the phasing of the scheme, we are not only delivering on those promises, but speeding up the programme to bring forward more council homes, more quickly.

“Working with Hill on these first phases, we will improve the estate into a modern neighbourhood with high‑quality homes and improved community spaces. Residents are already seeing progress on site, and this decision ensures the momentum continues.

“We are committed to making a lasting difference, not just by providing thousands of much‑needed social rent homes, but by creating a place that people are proud to call home.”
