High Road West compulsory purchase order

Background

In November 2022, the council’s Cabinet agreed to use its Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) powers to deliver Phase A of the High Road West scheme.

The council approved the decision to make a CPO in order to provide the certainty that the new homes and other community benefits of this part of the scheme can be delivered in a timely manner and ensure that we can deliver on our long-standing commitments to residents.

On 26 January 2023, the council made The London Borough of Haringey (High Road West Phase A) Compulsory Purchase Order 2023 and submitted the CPO to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for confirmation. Notice of the making of the CPO was delivered to affected parties and published in 2 issues of the Enfield Independent, dated 8 February 2023 and 15 February 2023. Site notices were also erected and maintained around the site. The last date for objections was 8 March 2023.

On 5 June 2023, the council submitted its Statement of Case to the Secretary of State.

A public inquiry into the CPO took place from 7th November to 22nd November 2023. You can find more information, including recordings of the sessions and the Core Documents for the inquiry, on the Gateley Hamer website (external link).

On 20 February 2024, the CPO was confirmed on behalf of the Secretary of State for Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities.  The Inspector’s report can be viewed below. 

On 20 March 2024, the council served a confirmation notice and a copy of the CPO on all parties included within the order schedule.

It is not planned for the CPO powers to be used immediately. The CPO does not affect the commitments we have made through the Love Lane landlord offer, leaseholder offer and High Road West business charter, which remain firmly in place. We will continue to work with residents and businesses on a one-to-one basis to find the best outcome based on their individual needs.

Rights of light

The development may interfere with certain rights of neighbouring properties, such as rights of light, which relates to the amount of natural light received by a property.

The CPO enables development to be undertaken, even where it may involve interfering with a relevant right.

At present, it is not possible to confirm which properties will be affected by the delivery of Phase A and to what extent, which will become clearer as the detailed designs progress.  We have served notice of the CPO on all parties whom could potentially have their rights affected.

If the rights of your property are affected when the development takes place, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Alongside this, Phase A will deliver a new Library and Learning Centre, a new public square which will provide a range of benefits for the community, and a District Energy Network. It also includes provision for new retail and leisure spaces, and a new health centre.
