Palace Square
As you know, the Society doesn't believe the proposed Palace Square scheme is the right option for redeveloping our shopping centres. Six high-rise blocks of 600 rental flats will not provide the family homes Enfield needs, and the wider retail and leisure offer described is by no means guaranteed. Public consultation by the developer, DWS (Deutsche Bank) has been inadequate.
That’s why we asked Civic Voice, the national body which encourages public engagement in planning decisions, to create an independent survey. The aim is to involve the wider community, so as well as doing so yourself, please prompt others to complete the survey by 18th March 2021. If residents agree, the Society will work with interested parties to put forward alternative proposals to regenerate Enfield Town, while protecting the town's heritage and Conservation Area.
A public webinar is being planned and we will e-mail you again with the details of how to join in once the date is confirmed. In the meantime you can read more about the scheme and its impact on the conservation area on our web-site.
The Society has published a flyer which it will post to 10,000 households in and around Enfield Town to raise awareness of the proposals and the survey.
